Did you know? South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust have a Carers Passport.

Saturday morning was spent by Favour, Anna, and Lara supporting the local community. They dedicated their time to assisting Active Families North East CIC with their newly acquired Southwick Community Hub. The team engaged in tasks such as cleaning and painting and it was lovely to witness the local community coming together to lend a hand. Thanks to everyone's effort, the center is nearly prepared for its upcoming opening in a few months, ready to welcome locals. The team can't wait to see the hub bustling with people enjoying themselves and continued partnership work!
