💙 Support Sea Change Café After Another Break-In

Aim

To raise enough funds to install security shutters at Sea Change Café and recover losses from the recent break-in.

Last night, Sea Change Café on Ocean Road, South Shields was broken into again.  Items stolen & damage to the window & door. Another devastating hit for a place that gives so much to others. 

Sea Change is not just a café. It is a safe, sacred space for people with autism and disabilities-a place where individuals are welcomed, supported, and truly belong. For many, it’s far more than somewhere to grab a coffee; it’s a lifeline, a community, and a place of dignity.

As a non-profit organisation, Sea Change operates with very limited funding. Every penny goes into supporting the people they serve. Sadly, this means essential security measures like shutters simply haven’t been possible within their budget.

After repeated break-ins, something has to change.

🙏 How you can help

We are coming together as a community to raise funds to install proper security (including shutters) to protect this incredible space and the people who rely on it.

Every contribution—no matter how small—will help safeguard Sea Change so it can continue its vital work without fear of further loss and disruption.

💬 Why it matters

Sea Change stands for inclusion, compassion, and opportunity. It gives individuals with autism and disabilities:

• A safe, understanding environment
• A chance to build confidence and skills
• A place to connect and feel valued

It deserves to be protected.
