YMCA Northumberland's vision is that all children and young people in Northumberland feel safe, valued and able to thrive. We do this by providing safe spaces, listening support, and engaging development opportunities.

Our programme of opportunities, activities and support is shaped around young people's needs, including arts, music and creativity, cookery and life skills, leadership development and social action. These activities bring together young people from multiple schools, neighbourhoods and backgrounds, creating new relationships that would not otherwise form, and ensuring that our provision strengthens cross-community connections in a practical and meaningful way.
