✅ A safe place to sleep
✅ A routine that reduces anxiety
✅ Someone who shows up consistently

At Oceander CIC, we provide temporary accommodation and practical support for people experiencing homelessness across Sunderland & South Tyneside — including:

- consistent well-being check-ins and day-to-day support
-help to access services (health, benefits, ID, appointments)
-support to reduce crisis cycles and plan next steps
-a focus on dignity, safety, and stability
-help with the transition into long-term accommodations

If you’re a service, organisation, or professional who wants to partner, refer, or learn how we work, message us — we’ll make it straightforward.

We were delighted to host the "Connecting for Good" gathering at Oceander, organized by the North East BIC and bringing together a vibrant network of local community interest companies and social enterprises. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect directly with peers committed to social impact and to explore future collaborations that benefit our community.

We appreciate every opportunity to strengthen these local partnerships, and we're excited about the ongoing conversations that emerged from the event. Thanks to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a collaborative atmosphere.

We’ve had questions about eligibility and how placements work. Oceander provides temporary accommodation for individuals and families experiencing homelessness across Sunderland & South Tyneside.
Placements are assessed on a case-by-case basis to ensure they are safe and suitable, and to confirm the appropriate level of support. If you’re a council officer or support organisation looking to place someone urgently, our booking proposition is built for rapid coordination and updates.
To enquire, please use oceandercic.org or contact us directly.
If you have questions you’d like answered publicly, add them in the comments (please don’t share personal details).

It’s a cold one today, but we’ve got around 40 people in total, safe, warm, and secure inside with us, plus some emergency food to keep everyone going. That’s what Oceander is all about - making sure no one’s left out in the cold. Stay warm out there!

🏠 Introducing Our New 19-Room Facility in Sunderland!

We’re incredibly proud to announce the opening of our brand-new facility in the heart of Sunderland. This unique space features 19 en-suite rooms, each equipped with a wet room and full disabled access, and we’ve even installed a lift for improved mobility. There’s nothing quite like it in the city — it’s a safe, supportive environment for individuals who’ve found themselves homeless. 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️

The building is thoughtfully partitioned into four separate flats, each with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry area. For added security, we’ve installed biometric access, keypad entry, and electronic locks — all monitored by CCTV and supported by a 24/7 staffed reception. 🔐👁️‍🗨️

🎮 We’ve set aside a dedicated games room with a TV, comfy seating, and space for books and board games. At the moment, it’s looking a little bare — so we’re calling out for donations of 📚 books and 🎲 board games to help us bring it to life!

🧑‍💻 We’ve also installed computer stations to help residents with benefits applications, job searches, or other important admin.

🧠 On top of this, we have plenty of room for wellbeing activities and would love to hear from local organizations or individuals who might want to deliver workshops or sessions. Whether it’s yoga, mental health support, budgeting skills, or creative projects — our doors are open. 🙌

📸 Feel free to check out the photos we’ve included and let us know if you have questions, want to donate, or are interested in collaborating.
Together, we can make a real difference. ❤️
