A community group will be buying a Longbenton allotment for just £1 after their take over bid was given the nod by council bosses.
Justice Prince supports the most disadvantaged and excluded people in the borough.
It has developed the east section of Innisfree allotments, which it currently rents from the council, into a "thriving garden hub" offering a host of activities to a cross section of the community, after it was derelict for years.
A report to cabinet said the allotment has helped people turn their lives around by finding training and employment.
It said: "It has helped those living chaotic lives, and those suffering the greatest hardship and disadvantage, into training and employment."
Fresh produce grown at the garden is offered to the community at affordable prices through a weekly pop up shop during the growing season.
The community interest company has recently applied for planning permission to install a cabin on the land, which it wants to use as a community space and kitchen.
At Monday's meeting the council's cabinet voted in favour of transferring the land for a token sum of £1.
The council will have the right to take back the allotments should the community project cease to exist, or if other uses are proposed for the land.
Speaking after the meeting Coun Ray Glindon, North Tyneside Council's cabinet member for Finance, praised the work done by Justice Prince.
He said: "Justice Prince do a lot of excellent work in North Tyneside and it is great for us to be able to support them by transferring ownership of these allotments.
"Since taking over the allotments, Justice Prince has been successful in gaining support for the project from a wide range of private and public organisations.
"It has developed into a thriving garden hub offering a host of community activities to a cross section of the community, which they are now looking to take further.
"I look forward to seeing Justice Prince continuing their fantastic work and building even further on what has become a real staple of the local community."
