Gateshead's Free Holistic Therapy and Drop In Centre

Providing free care for anyone affected by cancer or terminal illness. Come to talk, to share, to relax and be yourself.

Emmanuel House is a cancer support group privately run by Christine Deponio, an award-winning “Geordie lass” with a remarkable story.

Relax and unwind in a safe environment with day trips, therapeutic sessions, a summerhouse for children, holiday homes and more.

We help those affected by cancer and terminal illness and we also accept referrals via Macmillan nurses and GPs, or you can just drop in.

"This place is unique, when you come along you get fed, pampered and you're amongst people who, when you're really feeling down, know what you're going through."

"Over the years Christine has been an enormous help to me in more ways than one. I love coming here and wouldn’t miss it for the world."

"I first visited Emmanuel House nine years ago after being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's disease and I received great support from Christine. She gave me hope and strength when I needed it and I still visit today."
