NEPO has nominated The People's Kitchen as its chosen charity for 2020.

Established over 30 years ago and based in Newcastle upon Tyne, The People's Kitchen offers clothes, food, warm surroundings, and a warm welcome to homeless and disadvantaged people.

Nicola Shelley, Managing Director at NEPO yesterday said:

"The NEPO team were already aware of the amazing work being undertaken by The People's Kitchen, and collectively made the decision to fundraise for this inspiring charity. We hope that our efforts will help make a difference to the lives of vulnerable local people, and we will share news of our progress and activities over 2020."

Maureen Armstrong, who leads on Corporate Social Responsibility at The People's Kitchen yesterday said:

"We are delighted that NEPO has chosen to support The People's Kitchen over 2020. Our charity is entirely run by volunteers, and our services are accessed by over 800 Friends each week, so the support of local organisations such as NEPO is invaluable in helping us provide food, friendship and futures to homeless and disadvantaged people. To everyone at NEPO, thank you for choosing to support The People's Kitchen!"
