When Cafe @ Burn Lane closed for repairs on 11 July we had planned to reopen in August. However, due to staffing shortages we have unfortunately been unable to reopen the cafe.

We do hope to offer specific one-off events at the cafe for you in the near future, and we will keep you updated on these as we have more details.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the cafe and we hope to see you at one of our events soon.

Do you look after someone?
If you regularly care for a partner, family member or friend, we want to hear your experiences of taking a break from caring. Just a few minutes of your time will help us and Carers Northumberland learn what is working well and what could be better. We'll share our findings with adult social care so that services and support can be improved. Visit bit.ly/Carers-TakingABreak or call us on 03332 408468 if you'd prefer to leave feedback over the phone.

📚 Let’s Get Pupils Ready for Back to School – Together! 🎒✨

We’re currently collecting branded uniform donations for:

We’re also still accepting monetary donations through our GoFundMe to help us provide Back to School Backpacks filled with essential stationery and supplies for pupils who need them most.

🖊️✏️📏 No referral needed – just kindness.

📍 Donations can be dropped at our usual points:
