We run a number of arts groups in Newcastle - these include visual art, dance, aerial, photography and music making.
Our groups are for disabled children/young people alongside their non disabled peers. If you have a different art interest e.g. circus, drama, pottery, poetry - we can meet up and try to find a group that suits you.
We can meet anywhere - home/school/an arts venue to discuss arts activities and groups AND we run regular inclusive sessions at The Laing (art), Dance City (aerial and dance) the library (family photo club) and music making online.

We're here to let all lesbian, gay, bi and trans people, here and abroad, know they're not alone.
We believe we're stronger united, so we partner with organisations that help us create real change for the better. We have laid deep foundations across Britain - in some of our greatest institutions - so our communities can continue to find ways to flourish, and individuals can reach their full potential. We’re here to support those who can’t yet be themselves.
But our work is not finished yet. Not until everyone feels free to be who they are, wherever they are.
What we do
The Northern Region Gender Dysphoria Service is a service for people who experience persistent confusion and/or discomfort as a result of a discrepancy between their assigned sex and their gender identity. This includes people who want to change physical aspects of their gender as well as those who do not.
Some people who are distressed about their assigned sex have other health problems such as physical disabilities or mental health difficulties. The service is open to all but people with more complex needs may require additional support from other services.
