WHAT WE DO
At Teams Life Centre, we work with the local community to provide a home for family and group activities.
We’ve got a wide range of activities from ages 0-99!
We are extremely proud of our Multi Agency hub which supports our residents with many issues all in one place. Our partners include Gateshead Council, Citizens Advice and NHS mental health workers. The space is open to any organisation who want to help Teams residents and facilities include hot desk facilities, a kitchen area, meeting spaces and private consultancy rooms.

- Tea and Toast just before the Bread and Butter thing every Friday

VOLUNTEERING
We have 28 active volunteers working 4032 hours a year – this saves a huge amount on wages, gives our volunteers a lot of confidence and self-worth and means we can put more money into helping local people.
Even if you give one hour a week over a year that saves the centre £635.50 per year!
To express an interest in volunteering please feel free to visit or email us on reception@teamslifecentre.org.uk
