Our additional support services at the Hope Centre
At the Cramlington Foodbank and Hope Centre, we offer a range of services to support our community. In addition to our food support, here are some of the other ways we are here to help:
Hope Crafters
Tuesdays, 10am – 12pm
Bring along your knitting, crocheting, or any project you’re working on and join Marion and friends for a relaxed morning of crafting and conversation. No booking required – just drop in!
Thursday Crafters
First Thursday of the Month, 10am – 12pm
Join us for a fun session of crafting upstairs at the Hope Centre. Whether it’s card-making, button crafts, or painting, everyone is welcome, and no prior experience is necessary!
For more information, contact Rhona Simpson at [email protected].
Hope Centre Uniform Bank & Nursery Room
Open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11am – 1pm.
The Uniform Bank is an exchange scheme to allow school uniform items in Cramlington to be passed on.
We also have a Nursery Room providing nursery furniture and equipment, baby and maternity wear. Referrals to use this service are required and are usually available via your GP, Health Visitor or support worker.
Good condition uniform , baby clothes and equipment can be donated when the Hope Centre is open. Please telephone in advance to discuss donations as at times when space is limited we may have to reluctantly decline items.

Bereavement Support & Friendship In Grief
Tuesday Afternoons – 1.30pm
Have you lost someone precious to you recently? Are you lonely? Are you living in exclusion because you don’t want to go out and talk to people because you think nobody will understand how you feel?
If your answer to these (or similar) questions is yes then we’d like to introduce you to a local group called: Friendship In Grief or FIG
We are all people who have been through bereavement, grief and loss. Come and join us and others in your situation. Have a chat over a cup of tea and share your situation and how you feel.
We meet on Tuesday afternoons at 1.30 in the Hope Centre and would love to meet you.
Support for those recently bereaved is available. Please ask at the Hope Centre for more information. Alternatively contact Grace at: [email protected]
