About Teams Life Centre

Teams Life Centre is the new name for the old Teams Community Centre, based on Askew Road West in Gateshead.

Teams Life Centre (TLC) was created in 2015 when Dunston Family Church, a local registered Christian charity, obtained a 30 year lease from Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council to operated the building for the benefit of local residents.

Teams Life Centre exists to serve and support the folk of the Teams, Gateshead.

Within Teams Life Centre we offer a range of community activities for adults and children, rooms available for hire by community group and local businesses, a cafe, a second hand shop, a large sports hall, as well as several rooms of different sizes.
