Our Services
St Cuthbert’s Care is a charity working throughout the North East to help improve the lives of some of the most vulnerable members of our communities including people with profound disabilities, children in care and older people.
Residential care for children
St Cuthbert’s Care has three children’s residential homes accommodating young people aged from 7 to 17 years.
We provide a supportive and a nurturing environment for young people who need stability in their lives.
Foster care
Our registered fostering service, Fostering North East, recruits, trains and supports carers to look after children who are unable to live with their own families.
We are actively seeking foster carers to help provide homes for children in need of a positive experience of family life.

Services for disabled people
The Alan Shearer Centre in Newcastle provides specialist, recreational, sensory and social resources for disabled people of all ages, catering to a wide spectrum of needs and completely free to all. The centre also offers short-term respite or specialist residential care services.

Care for older people
We have two Catholic nursing homes for older people: St Catherine’s in Newcastle and Holy Cross in Sunderland. Both homes provide professional nursing and residential care and offer specialist support to those residents who require dementia care.

Community Services
In addition to our care services we develop and run community projects for people who are living in poverty, older people who have become isolated and individuals and families in need. Our charitable work extends across our region supported through our enabling work with parishes.

We run a day centre in Ashington and a residential home in Alnwick for people with learning disabilities. We also support a number of adults with learning disabilities enabling them to live as independently as possible in their own homes.
