The Haven (Tyneside) Ltd was established in 1977 as an initiative by the Probation Service to provide accommodation for ex offenders on their release from prison. The aim was to provide housing, support and training in an effort to break the cycle of homelessness, unemployment and re-offending. Although the Haven (Tyneside) Ltd continues to work closely with the Probation Service and its clients, this is now less than 40% of its work, through the development of the Supporting People programme since 2003, in partnership with Gateshead and Newcastle Local Authorities, Haven (Tyneside) Ltd provides 48 bed spaces for people with an array of support needs. We provide support and advice for all our Service Users and link up with other professionals such as probation officers, social workers, GPs, CPN, employments advisors etc.
