What's On with OAA

Out and About North East CIC Is Here!

Reconnect with yourself and others. Our community is here to help bridge the gap of isolation and support your mental health journey. Whether you need a chat or just a space to be ‘you,’ our doors are open.

Let's Get Out And About!

Your Local Home Away From Home

Whether you are looking for a friendly conversation or a quiet place to relax, our OAA drop-in doors are open. For a £1.50 donation, you can enjoy unlimited refreshments, plenty of biscuits, and a warm meal when available. Our space is thoughtfully designed to be neurodivergent-friendly and accessible to those with disabilities. We welcome all ages to join our community—which currently spans ages 16 to 87—though we ask that those under 16 bring an adult along.

💰 A Quick Note on Costs:

Please bear in mind that not all days out are funded by OAA. Members may need to make a payment or donation towards these trips. However, if we successfully apply for funding for a specific "fun day," We will always notify you that it is covered! Thank you so much for understanding.

We update this with new dates throughout the year, so keep an eye out! We’ll be adding more as we go along, so if you have a suggestion for a low-cost day out, let us know. Let’s make some memories! 😃
