The move, announced on Monday (1 October) will see Catalyst NE folded into Depaul to create a strong presence in the North Tyneside area of the country.
Paul Marriott, chief executive of the Depaul Trust, said Catalyst NE would continue to run until the end of the year, when it would close for good. He said there were no redundancies from either charity.
