A local woman has gone the extra mile in helping people around Gateshead to uplift the community spirit.
Whickham resident, Christine Frazer, 39, has become the heart of her local community.
She took her time to support those in need during the Coronavirus pandemic lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, by picking up and delivering shopping, prescriptions and hobby supplies, to taking calls from those who felt lonely and just needed to chat.
