We have wrapped up another year full of exciting social opportunities, events, and treasured memories.
We are delighted to now have 9,107 registered members. Last year we sold 9,715 tickets and vouchers to events and places across the northeast and beyond. Each year we continue to strive to increase our member numbers, alongside our offering of events.
During 2025, we ran events such as Mumford and Sons at Utilita Arena, Magic Weekend at St James’ Park, Run Through 10K, Rebel Heaton Tasting Menu, Mr Mulligans Mini Golf, Overnight Stay at Kip & Nook and so many more.
We also introduced an online suggestion box for members, implemented ticket number transparency for each event, and increased our lottery prizes for the second consecutive year. We spent over £260,000 on events and gave away over £74,000 to 437 members through the monthly lotteries.
As we continue to grow our network of suppliers, venues and opportunities, our mission stays the same: to enhance the staff experience at Newcastle Hospitals through providing colleagues with access to a wide range of social, cultural, and recreational activities.
You can find more information on all our updates from the last year via our bulletins page, as well as other upcoming developments and news on the reinvesting of funds back into the Social Club for our members.

From all of us at the Staff Social Club, we want to wish you a very Happy New Year – we are going to make 2026 our best year yet!
