Christmas Meal Appeal

Donate to provide someone in your community a meal this festive period.

Give the gift of a Christmas meal

The Changing Lives Christmas Meal Appeal will be returning to Café 16 in Newcastle Cathedral this festive period, and we need your support to make it happen!

Cooking equipment enabling people in our services to make more home cooked meals.

Cooking classes for people in our services to develop their cooking and budgeting skills.

Welcome household packs including items such as bedding, kettles, toaster, microwave or air fryers.

Welcome toiletry pack such as shampoo, body wash, sanitary items, or dental hygiene products.
