As the largest independent foodbank in Northumberland, Wansbeck Valley Food Bank takes pride in helping to relieve the consequences of poverty or financial hardship by providing food to the hungry.

Wansbeck Valley Food Bank is familiar with stories that describe the journey from wellbeing to the despair of food poverty. And every story we hear resolves our number one priority to ensure clients have food for today and access to appropriate resources that lead to self-sufficiency tomorrow.
