It is Newcastle v Liverpool tonight.
Please come prepared.
Multibank and NUFC fans food bank are joining forces tonight.
In the UK, Multibank is an initiative co-founded by former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Amazon, which has so far donated more than five million goods to over 500,000 families across the country.
Multibank asking Newcastle United fans (and Liverpool fans) who are going to the match to consider helping…
‘As you might have already seen, and heard from Alan Shearer, The Multibank is hosting a donation drive ahead of kick off against Liverpool tonight at the stadium.
The donation drive is designed to get hygiene products into the hands of those most in need across Newcastle this Christmas, as hygiene poverty is driving significant school absence and social withdrawal.
For 46% of households, washing detergent is considered a luxury item on the shopping list, rising in cost at a rate of 41.6% in just 3-years. 42% of households are without deodorant. 400,000 are without soap or toothpaste. And with school staff recognising the isolation, withdrawal and bullying that is developing as a result, they are spending approximately £40 million of their own money to support pupils, purchasing soap, toiletries, and detergent as a means to counter divisiveness in the classroom.
With 2-in-3 staff expecting the level of hygiene poverty to increase in their school in the coming year, and with key workers’ mental health affected as they attempt to navigate the daily complexities that hygiene poverty presents, The Multibank has designed it’s 2024 campaign to get soap, shampoo, shower gel, deodorant, toothpaste, and toothbrushes in the hands of those most in need, ensuring that our young people start the day the right way, free of fear, anxiety, and judgement.
We would love it if you can gift a soap, a shower gel, a deodorant, a toothpaste, and/or a toothbrush tonight, pop an extra one en route to the stadium.
The smallest gesture could make the biggest difference to a young person in need this Christmas.
We are joining the NUFC Fans’ Foodbank drop on Strawberry Place, by the Strawberry Pub.
