About us

Search is one of the oldest voluntary projects in the West of Newcastle, set up in the mid 1970’s to help the welfare of local older people.

Originally it was a single-worker project offering advice to callers and visits to the housebound. Clients came from word of mouth not Social Services. It has a long history of being part of the neighbourhood on Adelaide Terrace. Working together with local residents and neighbourhood groups to make Benwell and then the whole of the West of Newcastle a better place to live.

How we can help
