Want  to find out more about care and support in Newcastle?Newcastle City Council wants to help people to live as independently as possible within their community, and to have a wide range of information about the different choices available to support them to do this. 

The My Care Newcastle website - www.mycarenewcastle.org.uk - has been created to provide this information, and in particular, advice on care and support for adults in the city.

Whether you are looking for information for yourself, or for someone you work with, look after or are friends with, the website should point you in the right direction. The site is brand new and has been developed and trialled in conjunction with people of all ages across the city, to make sure it meets a wide variety of needs. Please check it out for yourself, and spread the word that the website is now live.
