Family and friends

We will support you to reconnect with your family when this will be in your best interests.

We will also help you to maintain contact with the significant people in your life - your family, friends and previous carers.

Sometimes, the people who matter most drift out of our lives - through distance, disagreement, or just the passing of time. Lifelong Links is here to help you reconnect with those significant people from your past: friends, family members, or others who once played an important role in your life.

Whether you're looking to rebuild a broken bond, reach out after years apart, or find someone you've lost touch with, we'll walk alongside you - with care, understanding, and support.

For more information you can email the team at lifelonglinks@gateshead.gov.uk  or ask your Personal Adviser about Life Long Links.
