Further info
We are a referral-only Foodbank, but there are many ways to get a referral:
- Phone Northumberland Communities Together on 01670620015, email the address given on the Northumberland County Council help page or visit the council Office in Blyth Library. Someone will contact you to discuss your situation and the possibility of a referral.
- Ask any professional working with you in a social support or medical role (eg social worker, care staff, social care charities, doctor’s surgery/social prescribers)
- If you have school age children ask at their school reception
- If you are on probation referrals must come through your probation officer or team
- If you are working with NRP referrals must come from NRP
- If you are an asylum seeker ask at the asylum-seeker drop-ins at St Cuthberts Church Hall near the quayside in Blyth
If they agree to refer you they will email the referral directly to us and we will phone you to say the referral has arrived and you can collect your parcel from us.
