During lockdown the Trust has taken the decision to freshen up Cafe 32 with a little makeover and the installation of interconnecting doors into the new Langley Room – creating additional capacity and widen the usage of both rooms. Hopefully, all the work will be finished by the end of March and hopefully in time for the ease of restrictions and return of groups and activities.

The Trust is supporting a local initiative North Tyneside Mutual Aid and local primary schools, with an appeal for the donation of old laptops and tablets (less than 10 years old) to be used for repair and distribution to families for home schooling during lockdown. To date 20 families have benefitted from this scheme and supplies are running low, so if you have a laptop or tablet you no longer need and are willing to donate please drop it off at the Linskill Centre or email jennifer@linskill.org for more information.

The work has finally finished in Burnett hall and the floor has been restored back to its former glory and is looking magnificent. With the lowered ceiling and improved acoustics, lighting and heating this popular hall is ready for the return of groups and events. If you want to discuss requirements or provisionally book the hall please call 0191 257 8000 or email info@linskill.org

With funding secured from an Ecclesiastical ‘Movement for Good Award’ the former IT Hub is being transformed into a serviced social space to meet the needs of our community. The Langley Room will become the latest addition to the growing venue hire portfolio at the Linskill Centre and will be complete and operational by March (restrictions permitting) for the booking of meetings, groups and social functions.
