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.

Our well-being group making Jewellery today thanks

Our well-being group making Jewellery today thanks to the support and expertise from one of our @northumbriauni placement students. This well-being group ran out of funding in February this year. (We've carried on regardless on fresh air) We are waiting to hear about a number of funding applications but competition is more fierce than ever. This amazing group of women are determined to raise money themselves as the group has become so close with friendships forged and is simply a life line to them all. Please let us know if you can support us! #wellbeing #mindfulness #support
