About Luna Blu NE

Luna Blu NE is a community interest company based at The Wellbeing Loft on Franklin Street in South Shields. It uses creative arts therapy to support mental health and emotional wellbeing, and describes a whole-family approach that puts accessibility first, particularly for families on low incomes.

Its programme covers youth workshops focused on emotional wellbeing and resilience, adult workshops for personal growth, family workshops and parties, and holistic creative wellbeing sessions for older people and those living with dementia. It also works alongside other North East organisations supporting vulnerable adults, and for World Mental Health Day 2026 it teamed up with the Red Bench Project to stage an art show at Ignition at The Venue on Stanhope Street.
