Friends Action North East
Supporting people with learning disabilities and autistic people to make and keep friends
Since 2004, FANE has supported people with learning disabilities and autistic people to make healthy friendships and connections. We know how important friendships are to mental health and well being, and we work with people to identify and overcome barriers to living a happy and active life.
Our latest news
Safety Works Newcastle
We spent a brilliant afternoon at Safety Works in Newcastle. We learned so much about fire safety, everyday hazards in the home, and some great tips on how to stay safe. Tyne and Wear Fire brigade and Northumbria police made us all feel very welcome. We also had a sneak peak of the new Tyne and Wear Metro!
FANE at the Big Friendship Conference
FANE took part in a friendship conference run by Skills For People delivered for North East and Cumbria NHS learning disability sub-committee at the Civic Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne. We shared information about the FANE projects and carried out an interactive workshop with the audience to find out about people's thoughts and concerns when making friends, meeting people online and the type of support that would help them to do these things safely.
