A project of Zayis Raanon
Wednesday Night Guys
A place to go. Someone to talk to.
Gateshead · Wednesday & Saturday evenings
A group for young men aged 16 to 25+ in Gateshead's Jewish community. A safe place with no judgement, where you can switch off, try new things and get support when you need it.
What we're about
The Wednesday night way
We asked the guys what they wanted. The answer was simple: a place to go, something to do, and someone to talk to. Everyone is welcome, whatever path you're on.
Mentors who get it
Around 20 volunteer mentors, young married men from the community, come each week to chat, listen and be there one-to-one.
Trips + activities
Bowling, go-karting, paintballing and trips away, plus special weekend events through the year.
Skills for work
Short courses, help finding work experience, and support to build confidence for the working world.
Support any time
Our mentors run a 24-hour crisis line, so there's always someone to call if things get tough.
