a better u is everyone in South Tyneside working together to improve health and wellbeing. "a better tomorrow, a better u!"

Our health and wellbeing is affected by everything around us. It's not just about keeping our bodies fit and healthy, but our minds too.

The aim of a better u is to make self-care easy for everyone. If you need a helping hand, a better u will be there to point you in the right direction.

We can help with trusted advice and jargon free information to help you find out what's available in your local community.
