Newcastle United co-owners Jamie Reuben and Mehrdad Ghodoussi made a surprise visit to the NUFC Fans Foodbank in the build-up to the club’s game with Arsenal.
The pair left volunteers delighted as they shook hands and thanked them for their work with the charity. The Reuben Foundation has matched every home donation to the food bank since the takeover was completed back in October 2021, and alongside the fans who donate has raised well over £100,000.
That money goes to West End Foodbank and helps to feed those most vulnerable across the city as well as the wider region. Reuben and Ghoudoussi quietly made their way to the food bank stall at Strawberry Corner, both putting money into a volunteer's bucket as well as taking time to chat and pose for photographs.
