Launch of NSPCC Newcastle Service Centre
On 9 May 2011, Nick joined 96 supporters, staff and children to celebrate the launch of the new NSPCC Newcastle Service Centre in Jesmond. Former Newcastle United captain and NSPCC Ambassador Alan Shearer formally opened the centre by cutting the ribbon.
The new centre brings together three of the NSPCC’s service teams for the area. Two practitioners from different services set up workrooms to show local authority representatives, donors and partners how the organisation engage with children.
Nick said: “I really enjoyed my visit to the NSPCC service centre in my constituency. I was impressed by the comprehensive nature of the services that they offer, and by the extent of the investments they have made in caring for some of the most vulnerable children in the North East of England. I am very proud to have the facility in East Newcastle.”
