Footprints in the Community

Welcome to Footprints in the Community. We understand that poverty and isolation can have devastating effects on individuals, families and communities. Through our various projects, our dedicated team of staff and volunteers support people who are struggling with these issues in Redcar and Cleveland. We are always looking for new ways to provide help where and when it’s needed the most.
