North Tyneside Carers Centre

Who we are

Established in 1994, North Tyneside Carers’ Centre (the Centre) is the only generic carer support service in the borough of North Tyneside providing support to young and adult carers.

Our Vision

Carers are healthy, happy, safe and recognised for the role they play in their community.

Our Mission

To improve the quality of life of carers in North Tyneside.

Our strategic aims include:

​Extending our Reach to Improve Early Identification of Carers

We will work with other agencies, the public and carers to publicise and promote our services and ensure that those with caring responsibilities are recognised and supported in a timely manner.

Increasing Carer Involvement

We will promote the value and contribution of carers so that they are recognised as expert partners in planning individual care and in designing local service provision.​

Developing Opportunities for Carers to Reach their Potential 

We will work with carers to empower them to fulfil their potential and pursue their individual aspirations.

Improving Carers Physical and Mental Wellbeing

We will work with carers to help them understand their strengths and the impact of caring on their wellbeing. We will explore the services and interventions available to help carers to build their resilience.

Developing a Strong and Sustainable Organisation

We will be an enterprising, sustainable, well connected, leading organisation in North Tyneside. We will maintain high standards and deliver social impact, whilst establishing best practice governance with clear accountability.

We deliver a wide range of interventions including: information and advice; advocacy; one to one emotional support; family support; support in/into education, training or employment; peer support groups; health and wellbeing groups; training e.g coping strategies; counselling; breaks/ social activities and events.
