A support centre in Newcastle has launched an an 'ambitious' £7,000 fundraiser to cover travel costs to enable the most vulnerable people to reach essential support.
St Vincent’s Newcastle meets the needs of approximately 450 people every week, with numbers growing steadily.
The charity does not just help with immediate needs in the form of emergency food packs, clothing, and toiletries but also for the support and signposting to housing, legal, benefits, and health services. The St Vincent's Newcastle community is a 'diverse one', including the homeless, asylum seekers and refugees, people struggling to make ends meet, in fact, anyone experiencing challenging and life-limiting circumstances, and the support offered at the centre doesn’t end once immediate needs are met.
