Our Work
Support Us
Both the Alan Shearer Activity Centre and the Alan Shearer Short Break Centre are part of St Cuthberts Care - one of the longest established social care charities in North East England. We currently run over 30 projects across the region, caring for children, disabled, and elderly people and providing care in and for communities across the North East.
If you would like to support our work, you can find some suggestions below.

Legacies - Remember us in your will
Not something most people think about, but legacies help secure the future of the charity, allowing forward planning for long-term projects - it also enables you to make a donation without affecting your current financial commitments.
If you would like more information on legacies, you can download our leaflet.
Become a volunteer
We value the support of our volunteers and take care to match them with projects which suit their personal skills and interests. You could help with outings for disabled adults or children, in Browne's Cafe on the ground floor of the Centre, or perhaps you have a particular skill or hobby which you could teach in the Activity Centre's Live & Learn courses.

We like to stay in touch with our supporters and keep them informed about events, appeals and our work throughout the year. By maintaining an up to date database, we can keep costs down by only mailing people interested in hearing from us - or by sending information by email rather than post.
