KeyRing

We have two KeyRing networks in Newcastle. These are networks offering support with getting to know other KeyRing Members (people we support) and making connections outside KeyRing. The networks are funded by the local authority of Newcastle.

We also offer one to one support to people across Newcastle. We can help you to think about what you want to work on and work with you to make a plan. Support is based on what you want to achieve, but we will always encourage you to develop your skills. We focus on three areas:

• What support you need to live well
• How can we connect you to your community
• How we can connect you with other Members of KeyRing.

We regularly hold drop in hubs at a central venue which everyone we support can come along to. We focus on things that matter to you, and sometimes invite guest speakers on topics we want to learn about. We look at things like digital inclusion, sexual health and planning social events. The hub is a really positive way of bringing people together and offers you the opportunity to share ideas, learn new things and build friendships.

We’re always happy to chat about whether our support is right for you. For more information or please contact Kim Sanders on 07717 894 468 or email [email protected].

You can speak with us about all of the different ways of accessing and funding our support including using a personal budget (direct payment or individual service fund) or through self funding.
