Shilbottle Community Hall is a partner in the Shilbottle & Hampeth Mutual Aid Group which provides support to local people in the area through a free community stall which is at the church car park every Sunday. This stall provides bread, cakes, fruit and vegetables, and flowers. We also deliver food bags to households in need in the village, any household can self-refer by sending a message through the Facebook page. We also receive referrals from Northumberland County Council's Northumberland Communities Together service. We have a number of other projects that we are involved with at the Community Hall including working with the Alnwick Garden to develop a community garden to grow vegetables; developing a Warm Hub and a digital inclusion project. We have also supported Shilbottle Primary School and Shilbottle Children and Young People's Project with either food provision or financial support.
