The beautiful Virginia House has had a makeover.

As well as accommodation for 17 previously homeless people Virginia House will now include:

*an internet cafe,

*a fitness/ well-being suite, including an alternative therapies room, as well as gym equipment,

*a musical suite, including a rehearsal room, recording studio, and a community radio station.

All of these impressive facilities will be available to the whole community as a point of integration for those who have been previously excluded.  We thought we would keep that sense of community by selling bricks which will be incorporated into the renovated structure.

If you are stuck for a present, or just want to get involved and be immortalised in brick, Buy a Brick for Virginia House. Funds raised in this manner will go towards the internet cafe, the well-being/ fitness suite, and the staff office in the building. We would greatly appreciate your support.

Each brick is available for a donation of just £25. On it, there is space for 2 lines of text, with 15 characters in each line. Your name? Name of a loved one? Or share your words of wisdom with us?  But please, keep it clean!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Tyneside Cyrenians gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you!
