I managed to get myself completely lost before the start of the mission. I'm blaming my phone as the postcode I put in led myself to a field with a horse in it!
Thankfully Louise came to the rescue and we were soon enough where we needed to be.
Building Futures North East/East End Women have a fantastic Community Hub set up to support the residents in Walker.
Myself, Dan and Louise were kept busy as it was their delivery day. We managed to support them, to deliver over 200 bags/parcels of food and tolietries which is brilliant.

A project supporting women with skills and training, education, loneliness and domestic abuse recovery.
East End Women offers practical courses for women to build confidence and skills around DIY, sewing, pattern cutting and basic trades. We also deliver the Freedom Programme domestic abuse recovery course, helping women to better understand the roots of domestic abuse and build confidence to identify warning signs in the future. In addition to this, East End Women also offer social activities and drop-in sessions for women experiencing isolation to meet one another, make friends and build local networks.
