At Hospitality & Hope, we know that staying connected can change lives.

That’s why we offer free SIM cards to help people access vital digital support, stay in touch with loved ones, and reach essential services when they need them most.

Providing SIM cards is just one of the many ways we support people in crisis. Alongside this, our wider services work to build stability, confidence, and hope for the future across South Tyneside.
