Gateshead Connects - Our Spaces
The East of Gateshead was Identified as the first area to host our Gateshead Connects Pilot. The spaces, currently based at Felling Family Hub, Christchurch and Pelaw Library provide a drop in space to allow residents to talk to community-based organisations and statutory services about their circumstances, their strengths and sources of support. This can help residents to make changes to their life and achieve any outcomes that they have chosen. This could include providing support with budgeting skills, employment opportunities, mental health and wellbeing support, housing, fuel poverty, carer support, community activities and independence living.
We now have 3 well established sites in the East, that will remain in place for the foreseeable future as we continue to grow and develop the approach across other parts of Gateshead.
- Felling Family Hub, Tuesday from 12.30 to 2.30pm
- Christchurch Felling, Wednesday from 10.30am to 12.30pm
- Pelaw Library, Thursday from 10.30am to 12.30pm
