1,575 lunches for local children this summer! 🥪🍎

We’re incredibly proud of what our small team has achieved over the school holidays.

Through the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme, we prepared nutritious food for 1,265 children, alongside 310 free packed lunches funded by Ashington Town Council.

But it’s about much more than numbers. It’s about children trying new foods, enjoying fresh fruit and vegetables, and discovering that good food can be part of a great day.

💬 “I’ve never tasted a wrap before.”
💬 “The salad was a winner!”

A HUGE thank you to our Cookery Team and volunteers who have spent six very busy weeks planning, chopping, cooking, packing and washing up, with a special shout-out to Michele and Jackie, who have worked their socks off! 💚

Thank you too to everyone involved in HAF, Ashington Town Council, and the fantastic organisations we’ve worked alongside, including Mortal Fools, Futures, YMCA Northumberland and Beyond Youth.

Small charity. Small kitchen. 1,575 lunches - powerful impact!
Now that’s something we’re proud of! 💚👏

Last day for the FREE packed lunches, we have a few left - please come along and grab one.

Great news! Due to popular demand, we're expanding our FREE packed lunch offer!

Due to the response and feedback, we can now offer free packed lunches on Tuesdays and Thursdays (we would love to offer every day, but unfortunately that's not possible).

Whether you're heading to the park, joining in community activities, or just need a helping hand over the holidays, we're here to help.

These packed lunches are completely free, thanks to the generous support of Ashington Town Council. 💚

We're delighted that so many families are making use of this support, and we're looking forward to helping even more children enjoy a healthy lunch this summer.

AVAILABLE EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY UNTIL SEPTEMBER!

Let’s Grow Newbiggin

Ta-da ! another sad space transformed.
Dawn who lives close to this wee spot decided to give it a new lease of life last week.

We are so inspired by folks rolling their sleeves up to make Newbiggin a greener , prettier space.

Good for people and nature!

There are now *NINE* separate spaces in 5 spots across town that our
Let’s Grow programme has supported from full rebuilds and overhauls to providing tools and materials.

We need folks to help with weeding , watering and planting - come and join in even for 30 mins a week ?
Learn new ways to garden , meet lovely folk and have fun.

Next session is this Saturday from 10am.

Email [email protected] or message Angie Main our Newbiggin coordinator for a chat.

We had a brilliant afternoon at our Grow Your Own Microgreens workshop yesterday, discovering just how easy it can be to grow fresh food at home, no garden or fancy equipment needed!

We tasted different microgreens, explored seeds and germination, learnt how to care for and harvest, and got hands-on sowing our own 🌱

Using everyday containers such as fruit and mushroom punnets and old milk cartons, everyone created their own mini growing spaces to take home.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us, happy growing! 💚

On the first Saturday of each month, in the grounds of the Full Circle Food Project, something lovely takes place. 🌿💚

A group of like-minded women come together to share experiences, feel heard, make connections, enjoy good food and, perhaps, learn something new along the way.
Nourish & Flourish is a wellbeing programme shaped by local women, for local women, creating a space to pause, connect and explore different ways to look after ourselves and each other.

And we’ve got some exciting events coming up… ✨

5th September — Nature’s Medicine Cabinet
An introduction to herbal medicine for women’s health with Lesley Long

3rd October — Nourish Your Gut, Support Your Hormones
Nutrition for women’s wellbeing with Izzy Rose

7th November — Eat to Soothe
Discover the power of anti-inflammatory foods with Sandra Wallace

Three mornings, three different topics, and one lovely community of women. 💚
If you would like to come along, we’d love to see you there! To book your space before it fills ups, email [email protected] or call 01670 238747.

Please share with anyone else who might be interested.
