Healthworks is an award-winning charity based in Newcastle, working with local communities across the North East to improve health, wellbeing and life outcomes.
Since 1995, we have supported people of all ages to live longer, healthier and happier lives, with a particular focus on those facing challenges such as low income, unemployment and poor housing.
We reduce health inequalities by working with individuals, families and communities to improve physical and mental wellbeing and achieve better health outcomes.
From our beginnings as a small local health project in the west of Newcastle, to becoming a regional charity supporting thousands of people each year, Healthworks has always been driven by one purpose – to help people and communities improve their health and wellbeing.
Over three decades, we’ve expanded our reach, developed innovative services, and built lasting partnerships across the North East – supporting people of all ages to live healthier, happier lives.
As part of our 30th anniversary celebrations throughout 2025, we developed this video which reflects on the people, partnerships and communities at the heart of Healthworks.

Each year, our impact report shows the difference our projects and partnerships make – from improved quality of life and confidence, to reduced pressure on health and social care services.
