The Mental Shift CIC works to provide support, education, and early intervention to young men to support with their mental health, reduce involvement anti-social behaviour, and improve quality of live. 

Through bespoke services which use Martial Arts as the driving force for change, we work with males aged 12 to 25 in Newcastle and beyond - including Gateshead, County Durham, Byker, and Elswick. 

Our breastfeeding social groups are for families living in Newcastle. They are relaxed, informal and friendly. They are a great way to 

• meet other breastfeeding mums, 
• get handy tips and information 
• get support from a member of staff or volunteer.  

For more information, send us a message or call us. You can also pop over to our Breastfeeding Mams Facebook page for lots of ongoing information and support.

Come along if you would like your baby weighed or have any questions. There will be a member of the Health Visiting team present at the clinic. Please bring your child’s red book. 

No appointment needed.

Home Education Days have been designed for home educated children to benefit from our curriculum-linked workshops, which reflect current and relevant STEM themes and topics.  

Children experience working like scientists in a lab setting which they would not have access to at home. Families can also explore the science centre at leisure rather than having a ‘school style’ schedule to follow.

Each session has a different theme, so workshops will change each time you visit. Keep scrolling for details of upcoming sessions. 

NEAS Newcastle Autism Hubs are a supportive environment for parents and carers of autistic children. Currently these hubs offer:

• one-to-one sessions where families can discuss any issues in confidence

• workshops designed to help parents understand and support their autistic children. 

The workshops cover topics such as common misconceptions, differences in autistic children, and practical strategies for everyday life.
