Acorns Project

Welcome to Acorns!

Our services positively impact the future chances of success of children and young people in North Tyneside and Northumberland aged 4-18, and their family, who have experienced or are experiencing domestic abuse. We offer a range of services under our priorities 'Prevent, Cope and Recover' including counselling and play therapy, practical and well-being support for non-abusing carers and other family members and outreach services for children and young people which include 1-1 emotional and practical support, group educational programmes, an open access drop-in and a crisis service. All of our services are free.

Why the community needs us
Our range of services are growing. Children are able to access support that helps them to cope with what they've been through, learn to trust, build positive relationships at home and in school, build their resilience and learn how to be safe. This increases their chances of success at school and in later life. Primary carers can access counselling, and practical support to tackle a range of issues, enabling them to better support their child.
