At Changing Lives we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their potential. We are experts in working with people experiencing the most challenging of circumstances, providing holistic support to help people to go on to lead happy, fulfilling lives. We work across four – often interconnected – areas to address the most common causes of social exclusion and long-term deprivation:

• Housing and Homelessness,
• Recovery and Wellbeing,
• Women and Children,
• Employment and Training.

Due to the large volume of people seeking support from us with social housing applications.   Riverside Community Health Project have sourced information from Newcastle Homes and created the informational poster attached.
