Welcome

St Cuthberts Care is one of the longest established regional charities in the North East. Founded in 1946 by the Catholic Church, its original aim was to offer food and shelter to disadvantaged families, particularly orphaned children from World War II.

Some 65 years on, St Cuthberts Care works across the whole of the north east region and seeks to help the most vulnerable members of our communities. Our work is specialised, and it often tackles areas of unmet need that are either unattractive or considered to be too high risk for other providers. We focus largely upon:

• residential care for children
• short-term and long-term fostering
• specialist provision for people with profound disabilities
• care for older people

Much of our work is sensitive and emotive, reaching deep into people’s lives. We engage and contract with a range of professional bodies and local authorities, and this income pays for the full cost of our care services, including overhead.

In addition to our care provision, we develop and run community projects. These span our region, targeting people who have absolutely nothing. Our fundraised income and donations pay for the entire cost of our community work.

Our Purpose namely: working for the common good by enabling people to develop to their personal potential, is the tenet that underpins everything we do. It is why people are at the heart of our work and will always remain so.
