An independent food bank.
You need a referral first. Ring them, or ask a support worker, health visitor or Citizens Advice to refer you.
Their website says: We work on a referral system, so if you live in North Tyneside please contact either Citizens Advice or North Tyneside Council. They’ll be able to refer you to us. They may also be able to help you with other support.

You need a referral before they can help — do not set out without one.
