Hot meals are being provided for people who have been left without power after the North East's infrastructure was rocked Storm Malik.
Just two months after Storm Arwen caused chaos in the region, Storm Malik left 78,000 Northern Powergrid customers without electricity once again.
As of Sunday morning, Northern Powergrid said it was working to reconnect 19,000 homes following the storm, which brought 80mph winds and was more severe than originally forecast.
