Care in the North East

What is different about running a service here

The North East has a small number of councils covering a wide area, from rural Northumberland and County Durham to the Tyneside and Teesside towns. Rates and frameworks differ noticeably between them. We help you work out who is likely to pay for your service, and on what terms, before you build around them.

We work across the region on Zoom, and in person when the work needs it. Travel for in-person work is charged at 55p a mile, and the amount is shown on your quote.
