Our other local support South Tyneside page lists trusted services for money, housing, benefits, mental health and family help. In addition, you will find quick links, phone numbers and what to expect when you contact them.

If you need urgent help
If you or someone else is at risk tonight, call 999. For urgent mental health concerns, contact your local crisis line. For homelessness tonight, contact South Tyneside Homelessness Services. Therefore, use the emergency routes first if you are unsafe.

If we, or our Welfare & Debt Advisors are unable to help with your own individual situation, our staff may be able to signpost you to one of the many organisations in the borough and beyond who could help.
