The Foresight Initiative is a community interest company that helps individuals from all backgrounds through education, self-empowerment, and supportive community services. We seek a society where everyone gets equal chances for success and stresses unity, progress, fellow feeling, and charity. We provide quality learning, student services, and collaboration to foster social inclusion and sustainability. We empower individuals from all backgrounds by providing access to quality education, FOOD BANK, personal growth, and community support. Together, we create an inclusive society where everyone has the chance to succeed and thrive. Our food bank primarily serves students in Newcastle who are struggling with the high cost of living. We deliver food supplies directly to those in need, aiming to support them during challenging times. In addition to the food bank, we organize breakfast, lunch and dinner events where we serve meals and distribute food donated by charities, While these donations are very helpful, they are not always sufficient to meet all needs. To supplement this, we also purchase essential items at reduced prices to ensure we can provide adequate support to the people who rely on us. There is no charge for the food donations or the services we provide; our goal is to support the community without any financial barrier.

We are a group of friendly volunteers in Great Lumley that provide food hampers to local residents to get them through a few days if they are struggling to make ends meet, isolating or in need of help. We also have a Community Table and Community Fridge where local people can pop in and take donations from local shops and businesses that would otherwise go to landfill. Everything we do is free of charge or on a pay-as-you-feel basis. Any donations we do receive are used to buy stock items for our hampers. We run out of Great Lumley Methodist Church alongside Heaven's Kitchen which provides a lunch project where we provide home-cooked, three course lunches each Tuesday - also on a pay-as-you-feel basis. During the recent lockdown we provided over 9000 meals to the elderly and vulnerable in the community. We are always happy to receive donations of any kind and will ensure that it is distributed to help our community.
