My son lives in Heaton - you need to be a confident driver but there’s plenty of public transport.
Precious sentimental objects lost.

Meet ups/where are you?
It's strange, I was looking for an opportunity to say "Aam gannin doon the toon."
Or getting on the bus with someone "two to toon".
As to language, you might need lessons in Geordie
Here’s Korean Billy to help out with any language problems you might encounter

Sorry no ideas for voluntary work, but Newcastle is a wonderful city. I especially like the river area, with the 7 bridges.
Two of my aunties lived in Gosforth , but I haven't been there recently. The Town Moor is nearby.
We live just south of the Tyne now, but easy access to Newcastle.
Excellent public transport and short journey to the coast.
And I've just remembered - eldest daughter did teacher training in Newcastle and went to classes for flamenco dancing somewhere in town.
As to language, you might need lessons in Geordie as well as Spanish.

Hello Flamenco
I live near Newcastle & would be happy to meet up at some point, though I’m going to be away in the Autumn.
One place that might interest you is the Tyneside Cinema, one of the many jewels in the North-East’s crown.

Good luck with your move. The northeast is a great place to live.
