The IRC is on the Corbridge Road outside Medomsley (DH8 6QY). You can reach it by the X71 bus from Newcastle or buses from Consett Bus Station. We can pass on exact details of the IRC location on request.

If coming by car, park carefully to avoid causing difficulty to nearby residents.
Staying informed
Supporters are kept in touch by email and social media with our actions and what’s happening nationally, to further our aim of closing Derwentside down.
Zoom meetings
- We hold monthly members’ zoom meetings to share updates and information, discuss upcoming events and hear from specialists in asylum and immigration policy. Please use our contact form to get in touch for the dates and zoom link (usually on the 3rd Monday evening of the month).
