Hiya everyone,

Thanks so much for all your financial contributions since December. We've been well busy! Before Christmas we (with a little help from Santa...) redistributed toys, books, footballs, smellies, chocolates, wrapping paper, biscuits etc to over 50 families across Byker and the east end of newcastle. Here's a fun little video one of our talented members made about it.

Given the latest lockdown measures we've been as busy as ever and are continuing to provide free food and toiletries to people in our community. We are looking to start buying from wholesale providers in the near fututre. If you have any links with wholesale providers and/or donations please get in touch

We have launched a new fund which is specifically for phone credit for asylum seekers within our community, if you can spare any extra cash please consider making a monthly donation to that- though we know times are hard for everyone (except the tories and their mates) so no pressure, we're grateful for all you do already.

Love, solidarity and rage

from Sarah and everyone at Byker Mutual Aid.
