South Tyneside Churches' KEY Project is committed to helping young people between 16 - 25 years of age, living in South Tyneside and in hardship, to live independent and successful lives.

This website can assist you in finding the help you need in dealing with emergencies, accessing help and advice from appropriate agencies and organizations.

If you are or may become homeless in the near future you can find out what help is available, about your rights and the duty of the local authority towards you.
