| The
Mayor and Mayoress of South Tyneside hosted the Annual John McKay
Community Service Awards at the Town Hall on June 6th. Cllr Alan Kerr, Mayor of South Tyneside, gave 43 volunteers from Community Associations from all over the borough, certificates in appreciation of their hard work. The Award was set up by John McKay who was a Community Education Officer from 1974-89. We were pleased to welcome John and Mrs McKay to the ceremony. The King George School Music Dept provided the evening’s entertainment, with 20 young people singing and playing instruments. Cllr Mrs Edith Battye congratulated volunteers for their efforts and welcomed Gwilym Lloyd-Williams, Asst Director of Education. A sumptuous buffet was partaken as the musical entertainment resumed and a good night was had by all. |

| DOMESTIC VIOLENCE- DISCOVER YOUR OPTIONS |

Domestic
Violence can take many forms, not only actual physical threats,
emotional or sexual abuse, but also threats, emotional or sexual
abuse, constant belittling or withholding money.
Anyone can find themselves in this situation regardless of age, sexuality, social status, race or ethnicity. Many of those who experience this type of abuse feel they are alone, but the facts indicate that this is far from the truth. OPTIONS can provide advice on the help and support available. Kelly
Smith, Domestic Violence Outreach worker says 'Options aims to
provide emotional and practical support to anyone experiencing
domestic violence as well as information and advice. We are based
at John Hunt House, 27 Beach Rd, South Shields tel no: 0191 456
