We're writing to address some recent discussions about our plans to open a new drop-in centre in North Shields. We understand that there may be some concerns, especially since information about a potential location was shared prematurely. For that, we sincerely apologise. We're committed to being good neighbours and transparent about our intentions.
Our vision is to create a much-needed safe and welcoming space for anyone in North Shields who could use a little extra support. This would include offering essential services like laundry facilities and a hot meal during the day. Ultimately, we hope this centre will be a positive addition to the community, helping to make North Shields an even safer and more supportive place for everyone.
While Hudson House has been identified as a potential location, we want to make it clear that no final decisions have been made. Our next crucial step, which we always intended to take before moving forward, is to consult fully with both the local council and, most importantly, you, the residents. Your feedback and input are invaluable to us.
We are eager to hear your thoughts and address any questions you may have. We'll be announcing opportunities for community engagement very soon.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to bring this beneficial project to fruition in a way that respects and serves our community.
