Creating Opportunities. Building Confidence. Changing Lives.
Our commitment to creating inclusive spaces enables neurodivergent people to thrive. Through creative workshops, community events, film production and therapeutic allotment sessions, we empower people to develop new skills, build connections and celebrate their unique talents. As passionate advocates for neurodiversity, we break down barriers, champion representation and create opportunities for every individual to be seen, heard and valued.
What Makes Us Different
GOOD NEWS STORIES
Peter Rabbit Art Trail
A huge thank you to the wonderful illustrator Jina Gelder, who worked with many of the fantastic people we support to create our amazing Peter Rabbit for St Oswald's Hospice's Peter Rabbit: Tales on the Tyne Art Trail. Our rabbit is one of many colourful sculptures waiting to be discovered across Newcastle.
60 Northstandard Volunteers
Celebrating an incredible volunteer day as 60 NorthStandard colleagues from the Tech Team joined forces to transform our Community Allotment through teamwork, creativity and community spirit. Their energy, enthusiasm and willingness to get stuck in made a lasting difference, helping us create a welcoming and inspiring space for everyone.
National Winners
Sally Lindsay presented the National 3rd Sector Care Award for Community Engagement to our Ngage Community Allotment, recognising its outstanding impact, inclusion and community spirit. We travelled to Birmingham with Glyn to collect the award, making the occasion even more special as Glyn is Sally's biggest fan.
Best Community Allotment
We're delighted to have been named Newcastle's Best Community Allotment for the third year in a row. We'll be collecting our award at the Newcastle Allotment and Garden Festival in Exhibition Park on 4 September—a wonderful celebration of the hard work, dedication and community spirit of everyone involved.
