The branch Outreach Centre is based at Church Walk shopping centre in Walker and is open Monday to Friday, 10am – 3.30pm. The Centre provides free and confidential information, advice and support services to people living and working in the east end of the city.

We aim to provide a community based accessible centre of information and advice for the east end of Newcastle and to share our specialist knowledge of dementia with staff in other local organisations.

Support and advice

Our Outreach Development Worker is available to talk with you about your feelings and concerns if you have dementia or you are caring for someone with dementia. We are able to talk with you at our centre or if you would prefer we can visit you at home. We run regular support groups that offer opportunities to meet other people in an informal and relaxed atmosphere to share experiences, learn more about caring and perhaps make some new friends.
