What our customers say

"I'd encourage anyone to approach Age UK North Tyneside for help, advice and support, don't hesitate to get in touch. If you don't buy the raffle ticket you'll never claim a prize and for us this was the best prize we could have hoped for. We'd not have dreamt of reapplying had we not been encouraged by Age UK North Tyneside to do so and Tom has been amazing, he's supported us every step of the way. This has improved our lives beyond belief."

"I find the Admiral Nurse service in North Tyneside invaluable. When my mum was diagnosed I didn't have a clue what to do or who to turn to, but the Admiral Nurses have all the information for carers as well as listening to a multitude of issues. I honestly can't recommend the Admiral Nurse service enough, there's nothing else like it and they support a great many people."
