Since 2017, Wallsend Children’s Community (WCC) has been developed and invested in as an initiative of Save the Children, to be a catalyst for local change. A small but dedicated local team has been actively tackling inequalities hand in hand with children, families, schools, charities, community centres, healthcare and other services. WCC brings local people and services together to create and deliver an ambitious vision for change for local children and families. This enables the system to understand and meet the needs of children across all aspects and stages of their lives, from cradle to career.
