Together Newcastle

 TOGETHER Newcastle is working to Inspire Positive Community Action to Tackle Poverty in Newcastle, North Tyneside and Northumberland.

TOGETHER Newcastle is part of a national network developed by Church Urban Fund to help create sustainable and more effective solutions to tackling poverty in England; and in order to do this work between the Tyne and Tweed the Diocese of Newcastle and the Church Urban Fund have formed the TOGETHER Newcastle partnership.

Poverty is not a lifestyle Choice

We believe that poverty is more than an issue of wealth. We recognise that poverty reaches wider and affects individuals and communities in terms of 

• Relationships 
• Identity 
• Resources

Poverty can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or ethnicity.

Those trapped in the ‘web of poverty’ are there for many reasons.

• Local jobs may be non-existent or inaccessible.
• A history of domestic violence. 
• Poor educational opportunities and experiences.
• Lack of confidence to manage personal finances.
• A downward spiral of debt, with escape feeling impossible.
• Physical and mental health problems, and issues including addiction and isolation.
