Our Mission

At ‘Not A Statistic Northeast CIC’, we understand how difficult it is for people going through life’s ups and downs to find a space where they can build connections with others who understand what they’re experiencing. 

‘Not A Statistic Northeast CIC’ was created to help individuals find a safe space to access peer to peer support with a free tea or coffee, biscuits and some laughs along the way. See the Our Sessions page for more details.

The Plan

At present we run three peer support group sessions in Sunderland. We have built a strong foundation group with weekly sessions at the Beacon of Light on a Thursday. With our 2nd group started in January 2025 at the Old Rectory in Houghton-Le-Spring on a Tuesday. Our 3rd group Started in May 2025 at the Washington Millennium Centre in Concord, Washington with plans of starting additional group sessions in Sunderland, County Durham and beyond in the future.

The aim of each session is to provide a safe space for conversation and to allow people to engage with their peers. Along with  facilitator led signposting to local/national resources which may be helpful to attendees. 

‘Not A Statistic Northeast CIC’ is and always will be open to everyone, This provides Inclusivity to all persons wishing to access our sessions, to hopefully remove social barriers and help the local community make connections.

What to expect at our sessions?

Our Sessions are inclusive to anyone over the age of 16, Any Gender/Identity, Any race, Any Sexuality, Any background or situation. 

‘Not A Statistic Northeast CIC’ is also a signatory of the Armed forces covenant and commit to all its values.  As a Veteran himself, Shane has experienced a wider lack of support prior to and after his service however, He has also experienced some truly inspiring Armed Forces and Veterans charities. (Some of these can be found on our Signposting Page). 

We could of focused or offering in to only help specific people however, this feels wrong to us and believe that we all have a lot in common, through our own experiences and by sharing these we can help ourselves and can help others in the process.
