We aim to offer inclusive activities for all ages, levels and abilities. Take a look at our current health and wellbeing activities, groups and projects.
Green Exercise
Don’t like going to the gym? – get some Green Exercise instead! Green Gym is a fun, free outdoor session offered across South Tyneside, bringing people together and transforming local green spaces. Our weekly Health Walks are another enjoyable way to get some fresh air and exercise in the company of likeminded people.

Young Carer Respite Support
Many young people across South Tyneside have a caring role looking after someone who is sick or elderly. The pressure felt from caring often has a negative impact on the health and wellbeing of the young person, which is why South Tyneside Young Carers Respite Support service is an essential lifeline for young carers and their families.
