A huge thank you to everyone who supported and joined us for our Afternoon Tea!
The hall was buzzing with conversation, filled with cups of tea, laughter, and an incredible selection of delicious homemade cakes.
We're delighted to share that, thanks to your generosity, we raised an amazing £1,400 to support the work of Core Foundations!
We are so grateful for the kindness and support of our local community. Your generosity enables us to continue helping those who need it most. We simply couldn't do what we do without you.
Thank you for making the afternoon such a wonderful success!
Saturday 11th July 2026
We had a delightful morning uniting as churches across Consett & Hexham, praying for the work of Core Foundations. From space for quiet reflection & personal prayer, to guided meditation and praying through Psalm 23, it was a peaceful morning to still ourselves before the Lord and take time to pray.
Thank you to all those who joined us and to lift the work of Core Foundations to the Lord.
On the first Saturday in April, a stoic team of 7 stepped out onto the North Pennine moors to tackle the Allendale Challenge, raising funds for Core Foundations. The 26 mile course covered valleys, hills, and lots of bog!
It was an early start at 7:15am as the team set off into the rain to tackle the course. The rain turned to snow for a while, followed by winds in the afternoon, but the team persevered through all that the weather threw at them.
Supported by Jen and Joanne, 6 of the team made it round the course, with 5 completing it in between 9-10 hours, a very good pace.
A fantastic effort by the whole team; thank you for your amazing commitment and care for those whom Core Foundations support.

What a fabulous night was had at our Spring Ball on Saturday 14th March!

We are so grateful for such an incredible community backing the work of Core Foundations.
Take a look at the photos from the night and relive some great moments!
We had a wonderful evening at St Patrick's Hall, Consett, with the Glendale Choir in support of Core Foundations. A special night of music and community. Thank you to all who came and supported, it was great to see you there!
An amazing £500 was raised and will go towards our work to provide safe, stable housing and support for those in need.
