Supporting Feeding Families
All donations collected at Eldon Square will be donated to Feeding Families, a North East–based charity dedicated to tackling food poverty and supporting people through difficult times. The charity works closely with communities, schools, and partners across the region to provide emergency food and essential supplies to individuals and families who need them most.
Supporting the Community
Every donation, whether large or small, makes a real difference. Eldon Square would like to thank all visitors for their generosity and support in helping Feeding Families continue their vital work.
Shoppers visiting the centre before Wednesday 21st January are encouraged to drop an item in support of this fantastic charity.
