Recent studies have shown that the North East has the highest rate of child poverty anywhere in the UK.
In Sunderland in particular, nearly 40% of the city’s population live in relative poverty – one of the highest rates in Europe.
Coupled with increasing food costs, further strain is put on families and the Foundation want to continue to help tackle those statistics.
