Supporting Our Local Charities – North Tyneside Disability Forum.
The North Tyneside Disability Forum (NTDF) in Shiremoor enjoyed festive celebrations in their new centre by accepting a Christmas tree and lights donated by the Whitley Bay Rotary Club and Whitley Lodge Community Spirit (WLCS) respectively. At an afternoon Christingle service with seasonal ukulele music, members of NTDF came together with guests from the Rotary Club, St Mary’s Parish Church and WLCS.
North Tyneside Disability Forum (NTDF) founded in 1987 works with young people and adults within the borough who have a range of differing needs running social activities, support groups, projects and events with a strong ethos of “something for everyone”. A range of activities takes place throughout the year including summer talent type singing, comedy, drama and dance competitions and more recently Christmas carol singing.
Sue Adams, Chief Officer at NTDF said, “We were delighted to receive the tree and lights marking our first Christmas in the new NTDF centre. The centre is a fabulous resource for those wishing to access the services we provide and we are thrilled to have been able to add a wonderful festive touch thanks to kind donations made by the Whitley Bay Rotary Club and Whitley Lodge Community Spirit.”
Current President John Clarkson said “Whitley Bay Rotary Club has been thrilled to support the North Tyneside Disability Forum over recent years as well as collecting for other local charities and good causes in December too. We’ve run a children’s colouring competition to win a family trip to the seasonal pantomime at Whitley Bay Playhouse plus families were able to meet ‘Santa in the Mall’."
Whitley Lodge Community Spirit is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers raising funds for the Whitley Lodge area and supporting local charity initiatives.
