The Alan Shearer Centre
A highly specialist, respite, residential and social facility for people living with complex disabilities and acute sensory impairments.
Situated in its own grounds on the outskirts of Newcastle, the Alan Shearer Centre comprises three specialist facilities on the same site.
Activities
Facilities are completely free to use and include a hydrotherapy suite, sensory rooms and cave, a giant ball pool, a music room, seasonal activities and a café. Overhead tracking and hoists are fitted throughout, enabling full accessibility to all areas for those with limited mobility.
A Safe Haven
The Alan Shearer Centre, located in Newcastle, is a specialist resource centre offering short breaks, recreational facilities, and sensory experiences for individuals with complex disabilities. It is one of the few places in the North East where people can access multi-sensory rooms, hydrotherapy pools, and accessible outdoor spaces, all designed to enhance physical and emotional well-being.
Accommodation
Also, part of the Alan Shearer Centre, the home offers residential accommodation for adults with profound and multiple disabilities. Here we provide longer-term, safe and nurturing care and support, and our residents have full access to the on-site Activity Centre.
