Welcome to our community sector hub at the Wallsend Customer First Centre. In recognition of the vital role that VCSE organisations play across our communities, this space has been christened the Spirit of North Tyneside wing.
The Hub has been designed to primarily serve small and micro-organisations supporting some of our most socioeconomically disadvantaged residents. It offers modern co-working space, face-to-face and virtual conferencing and training facilities and informal break-out areas.
A large, open‑plan shared workspace offering desks where organisations can work alongside each other. Includes access to the kitchen and breakout spaces.
Booking: No‑commitment, pay‑as‑you‑go.
Fiver Fridays: Hire a co‑working desk space on a Friday for just £5 for the full day.
Breakout areas can be used for small, informal meetings, gatherings and receiving visitors. The space can also host larger events, available both evenings and weekends.
Room hire: Private meeting and interview rooms up to a full boardroom for training, conferences and events – bookable by all VCSE organisations working in North Tyneside.
Bespoke support to help small charities and community organisations maximise their potential and community impact.
