During May young people can expect the usual variety of podcasts, live forums and discussion boards which of course includes a themed session on Mental Health Awareness Week which ties in with this year’s theme loneliness. Other key topics to watch out for include – body image, meditation, and foster carers.
There are loads of groups where young people can meet and do fun activities all over South Tyneside. All sessions are open access for all young people aged 8-16 to attend (with the exception of FAB Youth Project and Project groups- which are referral only)
Congratulations to our Easter Egg raffle winners!

The Victoria Tunnel is a preserved 19th-century waggonway under Newcastle, stretching from the Town Moor to the Tyne River. It was originally built to transport coal and operated between 1842 and the 1860s. The Tunnel was converted in 1939 into an air-raid shelter to protect thousands of Newcastle citizens during World War 2.
We learned how tough life was during World War Two; listened to an air-raid warning and heard some of the memories from a man who lived through the dreadful period in Newcastle’s history. In the tunnel we saw rough wooden replica beds and benches, just like those slept or sat on by frightened citizens during bombing raids.
On Tuesday 29th March 2022 Year 5 were visited by Rob from Zoolab. He brought with him some rainforest creatures. Many of them can be found in the Amazon Rainforest as the climate and habitat are perfect for them. We met: a Madagascan Hissing cockroach, a Giant African Land Snail, a tarantula, a Royal Python, a Giant Millipede and a tree frog. We learned lots about them and he was very impressed with the questions that we were asking about the animals’ habitats and diets.
