Gateshead Early Intervention in Psychosis Team are raising money for the charity 'SHINE'. On Saturday 17th August staff will be taking on the challenge of hiking up Scafell Pike, England's tallest mountain.

We appreciate any donation, big or small, toward SHINE.

SHINE is CNTW charity's general fund and a key part of our charitable activity. It helps us support people who use our services by providing the extra things that can make a real difference.

SHINE stands for Support, Hope, Inspire, Nurture and Empower. Since being established in 2014 SHINE has supported service users with everything from horse-riding outings to gardening tools, summer activities for young people, and even Christmas decorations for our wards.

The funding from SHINE does not replace the money used to fund care. Instead it helps to provide ‘little extras’ – therapeutic activities or items of comfort to assist with people’s care, treatment or rehabilitation, generally helping towards them living a happier, fuller life.
