Hadston House managing director Scott Dickinson said: “Since 1997 Hadston House and its sister organisation Briardale House in Blyth, which was brought into the family in 2019, have been dedicated to serve people of all ages in the community.
“From youth clubs, lunch clubs, job shops, employment opportunities, knit and natter, cookery sessions and yoga sessions, Hadston and Briardale House have something to offer everyone in a welcoming and inclusive way. They are the beating heart of the community.
“During the pandemic and the storms our amazing staff and volunteers identified those in need and made sure they weren’t cold, lonely or hungry during this time.
