Thanks to a partnership with local housing providers Karbon Homes, Gentoo Group and North Tyneside Council, The Bread and Butter Thing is launching hubs at five new locations across the North East.

Award-winning affordable food club, The Bread and Butter Thing has delivered over 1 million meals to families in Darlington since it opened its first hub at Corporation Road in March 2020.

TBBT - one of the UK’s leading community food organisations - is bringing its innovative affordable food service to North Tyneside in partnership with North Tyneside Council.

TBBT's sixth County Durham hub will launch at Annfield Plain Community Centre on Tuesday 1st March. The project has been so successful in County Durham since its launch in November 2020 that Durham County Council has invested in a second van, meaning a total of 10 hubs will be open by mid-2022 helping to make life more affordable for local residents.

TBBT is working with new partners across the North East to expand its innovative, sustainable service to County Durham and beyond. Supported by funding from Durham County Council, the first hub to open will be at Horden & Peterlee Rugby Club on 17th November.

TBBT is working with local partners in Darlington to bring its innovative, sustainable service to the town by providing good quality food for a fraction of its usual price.
