PENNYWELL NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRE
Improving the lives of our community through health and well-being services

PENNYWELL NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRE
Pennywell Neighbourhood Centre is a trusted hub at the heart of the community in Sunderland. We work with people of all ages to create a place of belonging, opportunity, and support.
​
For 35 years, our mission has been simple: to empower individuals, connect communities, and tackle social challenges head-on. Whether you're looking for opportunities to make new friends, support your neighbours, learn new skills, or take part in fun activities - we're here for you.
​
We believe in:
-
Community first – co-created, inclusive programmes.
-
Practical help – from food access to gardening to singing classes.
-
Relationships – long-term trust built on care and respect.
Everyone is welcome—come and be part of what we’re building.

Our Latest Project
POST-COVID COMMUNITY HEALTH PROJECT​
​
We have been funded by the National Lottery Community Fund for 3 years to deliver our health and well-being activities alongside joint working initiatives with local partners.
​
These have already included a Jubilee Parade and the tidying up and improvement of some waste ground in the area.
