Welcome to LD:NorthEast
We are a local charity supporting people across North Tyneside who have lived experience of learning disabilities, learning difficulties and autism.
Our work is all about bringing people together. We believe that everyone deserves to have fun, spend time with friends and feel good about themselves and our mission is to support people to do just that, from birth right through to older life. Our vision is to achieve equality and social inclusion so people can live their life their way.
About LD:NorthEast
Supporting people with learning disabilities to have fun, spend time with friends and feel good about themselves, from birth right through to older life.
We are a local charity engaging with people who have lived experience of learning disabilities, learning difficulties and autism. We work across North Tyneside and currently reach around 700 people, of all ages.
Our work is about bringing people together. We aim to tackle social isolation and the effects of loneliness by supporting people with three of the basics we feel are important to happiness and well-being.
Fun
We organise a wide range of activities and events, many of which are free to access and are all about having a good time. This includes taking part in games, sport, dance, music performance, days / nights out, attending events and anything else based on what people tell us they want to do
Friends
We help people to develop and maintain friendship groups by organising activities, social groups and informal drop-in support to bring people together. We also help those needing one-to-one support to access their community and take part in everyday tasks and activities
Feel Good
We support people with health appointments as well as activities that support positive physical and mental well-being. These include dance classes, music and singing, relaxed art and craft sessions, healthy cooking and eating and sport
