We are a group of individuals who all have lived experience of mental health problems/issues. We have come together to ensure that a genuine peer support led community hub is here for all who need it within the borough of Gateshead. 

We believe that everyone needs a safe harbour, to engage and participate as they wish. The clubhouse supports people to build up their own resilience and, in a suitable timeframe, be able to move on with their lives.

The clubhouse, in a truly personalised way, will mean different things to different people. For some it will be about becoming part of running something very unique, a very empowering experience in itself, and a place to meet for friendship, where people will always be welcomed with a smile. For others it will be a part of their recovery as they undertake peer led courses, join in social activities and, when ready, move their lives in new directions - knowing that they always have a place of support if needed.

Peer support is the key focus of our culture here, with an emphasis upon people making an individual choice about attendance and participation and membership participation in the running of the clubhouse.

The clubhouse is truly a unique place in that it is run by volunteer members.  We have: a comfy sitting area to socialise and relax with a pool table; six computers with free internet access, WiFi and word processing software; cafe offering meals, snacks and drinks. 

We have lots of regular activities including: arts and crafts; mindfulness; yoga; board games; and trips out. 

We also have a selection of rooms to hire and refreshments can be provided.
