Gateshead Connect Spaces have launched in community settings to make it easier for people to get a range of help and advice under one roof. These are called Gateshead Connect Spaces.
What to expect
A friendly welcome, a warm drink, toys and books for children. Each week a range of people will be on hand to offer advice and support on a variety of subjects including:
- budgeting skills and benefits
- mental health and wellbeing
- housing
- food and fuel poverty
- carer support
- community activities
- independent living
