Let's Get Out And About!

Welcome to the OAA Drop-In

​Whether you’re looking for a friendly chat, a place to make new friends, or just a quiet corner to relax, our doors are open.

​At Out and About North East (OAA), our goal is to help people feel a little less alone. We know how tough it can be to navigate isolation or mental health challenges, so we built a supportive, non-judgmental community where everyone is genuinely welcome.

​Our drop-in is a completely safe space designed for anyone who is feeling lonely or dealing with their mental health. The environment is thoughtfully created to be neurodivergent-friendly—it's a place where you can drop in on our open days, take off the mask, hang out, and just be yourself.

​For a £1.50 entry fee, you can enjoy unlimited tea, coffee, biscuits, and snacks

we also have various activities, discussions, workshops and day trips 

​Our drop-in sessions are for anyone aged 16 and over. Come exactly as you are—we can't wait to welcome you!
