Tyne & Wear Museums, Community & Outreach

Community Outreach

At Tyne & Wear Museums we believe that everyone should have access to our exhibitions, collections and programmes.

Museums are a great resource for any community group and the possibilities to work with us are endless.

The Outreach Team at Tyne & Wear Museums work with a vast range of groups and are always looking to bring museums to life for different audiences - whether in the museums or outside at a venue to suit the group.

The team is divided up across Tyne & Wear with one assistant outreach officer in each district. We can work with any Tyne & Wear Museums' collection and any Tyne & Wear Museums' venue.

Past projects have included working with:

looked-after young people,
young carers,
culturally diverse communities/BME communities,
older people,
residential homes for young and older people,
women's groups,
lads and dads groups,
young mums,
the probation service,
youth referral units,
local history groups,
disability support groups,
Deaf community groups,
homeless people's projects,
healthy living project groups

... to name a few.

If you are interested in working with us we would love to hear from you.
