Not just a talking place
We continue to provide support for those with disabilities as well as their carers.
Once a month we have a social coffee morning with occasional speakers on various topics.
If you are an organisation that could offer a talk, support and advice please get in touch.
Apart from caring for the disabled and carers we continue to support our elderly in the community.
Our aims are to combat social isolation and loneliness.
Who are we?
The Choppington Disability Group is an opportunity for disabled people and carers to shape the Choppington area. To make it better, friendlier and an easier place for those with a disability to live, work and socialise.
How?
Being part of CDG gives members in Choppington access to the larger network for disabled groups, gaining representation on other appropriate forums and influencing councils and organisations in the wider community.
Activities
On 1st Friday of each month we have a social coffee morning with occasional speakers on various topics and we have recently introduced our NEW Cinema Club, 3rd Wednesday of the month.
Out & About
Our work with Northumbria Police
We work closely with Northumbria Police and Stakeford and Bomarsund Welfare Centre is a Safe Crime Reporting Centre.
We also have our local PCSO’s come to support us on a regular basis.
If you need to report a Hate Crime, Stakeford and Bomarsund Welfare Centre is a Safe Crime Reporting Centre.
Hate Crimes are any crimes that are targeted at a person because of hostility or prejudice towards that person’s:
- disability
- nationality or culture
- religion or belief
- sexual orientation
- Transgender identity

Throughout the year we are fortunate to receive information from like-minded organisations and many do attend our coffee mornings regularly.
They cover many aspects of interest to our organisation in fields of health, benefits and disability.
