Linskill and North Tyneside Community Development Trust was set up in July 2003 to complete a community asset transfer of the Linskill Centre in North Shields which it did in April 2006. Since then it has successfully developed Linskill Centre into a thriving community hub serving people of all ages from communities across North Tyneside. Due to this success, the Trust took over two smaller centres at Battle Hill and Royal Quays in April 2020. Between these three community hubs, the Trust provides activities, and support to some of the most disadvantaged people in North Tyneside, including those from the worst 10% deprived areas nationally, those with physical and learning disabilities and poor mental health, and children, young people and families experiencing poverty and disadvantage.
