Our Work
Over 50s living in Gateshead are at risk of experiencing deprivation and adverse outcomes as they age. These outcomes can include poor physical and mental health, social isolation, a loss of independence, loneliness, and financial insecurity.  

Gateshead 50+ is here to help ensure older people in our borough have access to affordable, age-appropriate ways to improve their health, maintain their independence, stay socially connected, and stay financially secure.
Actions we will take:
  • Consult with over 50s to understand what opportunities and activities they'd like to see on offer in their local communities.
  • Develop an evolving programme of activities designed to meet the needs and fulfil the wants of over 50s.
  • Create a welcoming and inclusive environment in which newcomers feel motivated to join and current participants feel motivated to stay.
  • Robustly evaluate our work and use the data we gather to inform future provision.
  • Maintain a reputation as a trusted provider of services for over 50s by keeping stakeholders informed of what we offer and how we make a difference via our website, social media, newsletter, communications, and reporting.
  • Build and maintain good relationships with other organisations and investors working to enrich the lives of over 50s in Gateshead.
