1. New drive to beat food poverty

2. A DRIVE to eliminate food poverty in Newcastle starts on Monday. Your Homes Newcastle (YHN) tenants are being encouraged to donate items from their kitchen cupboards to charity. The week-long scheme will encourage staff and tenants to donate tinned foods. There are drop off points in YHN housing offices and some of its sheltered schemes and concierge lodges. Newcastle City Council is also arranging collection points in its six customer service centres across the city. The initiative supports FareShare, the national food charity run by Cyrenians in the North East. Chief executive of YHN John Lee, pictured, said: "By working with Fare-Share we're helping to provide for some of the most vulnerable people in society. "Hopefully the generosity of our staff and tenants will make a big difference to some people who are less well-off." General manager at the Cyrenians FareShare North East, Michael Shields, said: "Thousands of people in Newcastle including children right on our very doorstep, are going to bed hungry at night so we've obviously got a lot of work to do. "But our big aim is to help Newcastle become the first city on the planet to eliminate food poverty. "If everyone in Newcastle gave just one can of food next week we could feed Newcastle's food poverty population for an entire year."
