The People's Kitchen came from humble beginnings in 1985, handing out soup to disadvantaged people in in Newcastle. In the time since, the demand for their services has dramatically increased.
The volunteers now prepare around 200 meals a day, with Christmas being no exception. Despite their professional appearance, The People's Kitchen rely on the generosity of the public and local businesses. They provide food and funding and they are exclusively volunteer led.
The People's Kitchen is not just a place to have a hot meal, it is where people will sit and listen and provide friendship to those that don't have anyone else. It can also be an invaluable link to welfare, medical and housing services.
