Welcome to North Tyneside Disability Forum Community Shop.

NTDF’s Community Shop in the local town of Whitley Bay is now reopen 6 days a week.

Heavily supported by volunteers and employability trainees the shop affords disabled young people a chance to learn retail skills and gain accreditations to these skills. It relies on donations of quality goods from local people and it enables folk to buy quality goods at fair prices.

It addresses local poverty and generates income that goes directly back into enabling the NTDF Charity to deliver their portfolio of 7 day a week accessible and supported services. Our shop has volunteers of all ages – we are wholly intergenerational in our approach to community development and we believe that age is just a number and that skills are to be shared.
