About us Our impact

Search in Numbers

Search remains true to its roots supporting older people in the heart of Newcastle’s West End and using their voices to help us shape and influence the work we do in all areas. We hold regular engagement events for those we support giving them the opportunity to tell us what their needs and aspirations are, which in turn influences and shapes the work we do. We are committed to supporting and working in partnership with other voluntary sector organisations, with this past year really highlighting the importance and benefits of these joint partnerships.
