Youth service spend in the North East has decreased by 96% over the last 9 years, yet the demand for positive youth provision to support a young persons development has only increased, particularly as a result of the pandemic.

NE Youth was founded in 1935 and supports the development of children and young people aged 11-25 across the North East. Our mission is to provide a high quality, diverse and positive youth offer through our own services and by providing our members with relevant information, advice and support.

In 2020/21, we worked directly with 2,730 young people through our diverse range of programmes and had an indirect reach of over 140,000 young people through our membership network.

This year, we are taking part in the Blaydon Race and setting all of our runners with a task to raise £100 each. Any support to this campaign will go a long way to making a positive difference to the lives of young people.
