Support our mission
Your donation to Out And About North East CIC helps us combat isolation and improve mental well-being across the North East. Join us in making a real difference in the lives of vulnerable individuals in our community.
How your donation helps
Donations directly fund our core services, providing a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for members, including those with disabilities and neurodivergent individuals. We offer tea, coffee, and biscuits, and subsidise low-cost or free activities and days out, expanding opportunities for connection and experience. Your contribution ensures we can continue to combat isolation and improve mental well-being.
Why donate to us?
We run non-judgemental social sessions where vulnerable people, especially those who are neurodivergent or disabled, find immediate belonging and a safe space to improve their mental well-being.
More importantly, we use our professional networking and lived experience to act as a crucial referral point. Your donation funds this vital work, ensuring people not only find connection with us but are also guided to the specific, long-term help they need across the North East.
