Our Workshop Plans
One of our stated Community Interest Company missions is to provide training to help those without traditional access to develop and learn trades that will aid in their ability to get back into the workplace.
​
To this end we have recently stepped up our search for workshop premises so that our partners and supporters Resources (NE) Ltd can start to deliver on our mission.
​
Please stay tuned for more news on this exciting development.

Community Christmas Tree
​
We have recently donated a Community Christmas Tree to Newcastle Cathedral - read our latest blog for more information on this initiative.​​

Dear Smile Wide Together family,
We have made the tough decision to postpone the three-day Smile Wide Together festival that was scheduled to happen in September.
This is not a decision that has been made lightly but given recent social unrest and the potential strain on resources for the festival, we felt that this decision was necessary for the safety of festival goers, stall holders and performers alike.
However, we are delighted to confirm there will be some other events coming up in the very near future that we can't wait share with you all. Watch this space for upcoming announcements; we are looking forward to seeing you soon!
