Public health news: December 2024

In the last edition we introduced you to our Restart team who support anyone impacted by domestic abuse in South Tyneside. In this edition we have a few more updates from the team.

Resart Integrated Domestic Abuse Hub

On Thursday 7 November 2024 Restart's brand new integrated hub building officially opened!

Over 100 people from partner organisations came to celebrate the opening of their new home. This is a dedicated space for the team to work in, see clients and for partner organisations to meet. The team received some great feedback from colleagues at the launch. Nearly everyone said what a welcoming and safe space it is. The team have settled in and are already starting to see clients.

Restart social media

Restart have now also launched their social media pages on Facebook, X and LinkedIn. Follow them to stay up to date with campaigns, service updates and more.
