Gateshead Clubhouse
A mental health community hub run entirely by its members

Who We Are

​

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

​

What we do

• Gateshead Clubhouse is a venue where people are always welcome to come to, on their own terms. We believe that people need a safe space within which they can be in control over the level of activities they wish to participate in, without the fear of having to move on before they choose to do so. We support our members to build up their own resilience, within a suitable timeframe, and to do what we can to enable them to move on with their lives.

​

Please note

• People have to join the clubhouse to use our facilities; membership is free.

• They must be a resident of the borough of Gateshead.

• As we are classed as a mental health community centre they must have some form of mental health issue.

• We have to do a light touch risk assessment to ensure they are suitable for a staff-free service.
