Hadston House Youth and Community Projects

Hadston House was created back in 1997, operating for the benefit of the local community. We offer a wide range of services to local people 7days a week.

We are a not-for-profit community organisation that delivers a whole range of services and activities for the local communities that surround us.  We need to raise all the funds we need each and every year and receive no financial support that we do not apply for.

We employ 10 local people, we have a bank of local volunteers and our Board is made up of 5 local volunteers too.

Some of the services we operate are listed below.

• Youth Services operating 3 nights a week with currently 218 registered young people, and we have lots of local children, children with disabilities and those who come from neighbouring villages like Amble and Widdrington.
