We had an absolutely brilliant day as we held a bake sale at Stepney Banks Stables in Ouseburn.
We raised a massive total of £101.50 for East End Women Foodbank (who we have previously helped out) Based in Walker, they do amazing work helping out those in need including families and children with donations of food, emergency parcels and toiletries.
The teamwork was brilliant, everyone got slightly emotional and there were hugs as people were so generous. Thank you to everyone who donated either money, foodbank items or cakes to sell.
Special thank you and kudos
• Tanya, Debbie, Krishti, Michael, Liz and Lucy for your help
• Sara and Stepney Bank Stables for all your fantastic support
•Anji for your kind donation, fantastic support and reassurance/always being available (especially when I had a last minute panic this morning!)
•Sebastian for your amazing baking and kind donation
•10th Newcastle Guides for your generous donations of items for the foodbank

We also deliver the Freedom Programme domestic abuse recovery course, helping women to better understand the roots of domestic abuse and build confidence to identify warning signs in the future. In addition to this, East End Women also offer social activities and drop-in sessions for women experiencing isolation to meet one another, make friends and build local networks.
