Our aim is to promote positive change, by providing safe spaces and safe faces to transform lives

Based in the East End of Newcastle our specialist teams work predominantly in disadvantaged communities supporting young people and their families.

We deliver bespoke, alternative education programmes to support young people who struggle to thrive in mainstream education

It is our mission to help young people find out what they CAN do instead of what they can't.

Today we said goodbye far to soon to one of our former students. He was given a beautiful send off.
Mark holds a special place within Foundation Futures and always will.
He had an infectious smile and had us laughing everyday we worked with him. He made us so proud.
We are sending our love and thoughts to Marks family and all who were lucky enough to know him 💚

@arthouseswb What fun we had today searching for all the hidden art work around Whitley Bay. We used our tablet to connect to the LOCAL wifi and got to enjoy some great art. We also got to explore Whitley Bays community Garden that was teaming with life, the kids loved looking at the different flowers and vegetables. We finished the trip off nicely with a big treat over at Spanish City for some fish and chips and a good helping of warm chocolate brownie.

Our last session of Wednesday summer activities today. We had so much fun building our cardboard fort accompanied by Mrs robot. We also made pet cacti from rocks that we painted and put into pots. So much creativity and happy memories made over the summer and we can’t wait to see you all again at our youth clubs. Look out for starting dates for our junior and senior youth clubs starting in September. #foundationfutures #foundationfuturesyouthclub #summeractivities #happymemories
