About The People’s Kitchen

NCASS is supporting The People’s Kitchen which provides a safety-net and a vital lifeline of friendship, food and clothing for the most disadvantaged in our society, the homeless and the vulnerable.

Our vision is to play a unique role in the City’s efforts to meet the needs of homeless and vulnerable people.

We have been supporting those who need our help in Newcastle for three decades.
