The charity will receive \u00a330,000 in funding as part of its prize, as well as expert support and development from The King\u2019s Fund.<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"aolmail_MsoNormal\">Tyneside Women\u2019s Health was established in 1985 to provide mental health support to women in a women-only environment. It runs a range of services for local women, including counselling, support groups, and creative and therapeutic activities.<\/h1>\n<h1 class=\"aolmail_MsoNormal\">At least one person in four in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. As well as the impact this has on people\u2019s lives, it has been estimated that the annual economic cost of mental ill health totals \u00a3105 billion in England. Mental ill health is a particular challenge for Newcastle and Gateshead, which has a higher than average rate of anti-depressant prescribing.<\/h1>\n<h1 class=\"aolmail_MsoNormal\">Although a small organisation, Tyneside Women\u2019s Health has a large reach in the local community and worked with more than 550 women last year. It runs two centres in Gateshead and Newcastle, and recently opened a caf\u00e9 in its Newcastle centre to give women affected by mental health issues a route into paid work.<\/h1>\n<h1 class=\"aolmail_MsoNormal\">With about a quarter of the women it helps having experienced domestic abuse, its Undoing the Damage of Domestic Abuse programme focuses on addressing the mental health needs of survivors of domestic violence. Tyneside Women\u2019s Health also runs an annual White Ribbon event to highlight this problem and offers advice to local employers on how best to support staff who are victims of abuse.<\/h1>\n<h1 class=\"aolmail_MsoNormal\"><b>Katie Pinnock, Director of UK and Ireland Charitable Partnerships at GSK, said: <\/b>\u2018Tyneside Women\u2019s Health is a great example of a small, dynamic charity providing valuable health and wellbeing services for the local community. Many women will experience poor mental health at some point in their lives and charities like Tyneside Women\u2019s Health play an important role in helping to boost vulnerable women\u2019s mental health and emotional wellbeing.<\/h1>\n<h1 class=\"aolmail_MsoNormal\"><b>Elaine Slater, Chief Executive of Tyneside Women\u2019s Health, said: <\/b>\u2018We are delighted to have received a GSK IMPACT Award. For a relatively small, local charity this is a huge accolade for us and testament to the impact we have on the lives of the women we support and the wider communities we operate in.\u2019<\/h1>\n<h1 class=\"aolmail_MsoNormal\">\u2018We\u2019re incredibly excited to be working alongside GSK and The King\u2019s Fund over the coming months and years to develop as an organisation and to raise awareness of our work.\u2019<\/h1>\n<h1 class=\"aolmail_MsoNormal\">Part of the award enabled Tyneside Women\u2019s Health to work with Toucan Productions who have made a four minute film to showcase the work of the organisation.\u00a0 The film can be viewed online at<\/h1>\n<h1 class=\"aolmail_MsoNormal\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cycikLlVEyI\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cycikLlVEyI<\/a><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Tyneside charity run by women and dedicated to improving women\u2019s mental health has won&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":625,"featured_media":786,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tyneside Women\u2019s Health charity wins national award for excellence. | News | Blog | Events | SI Tynemouth, Whitley Bay and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Tynemouth, Whitley Bay and District : Blog &amp; News : Tyneside Women\u2019s Health charity wins national award for excellence. : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Tynemouth, Whitley Bay and District .
