Couch to 2k – is our new pilot project improving young people’s fitness, health and well-being. Referrals come via Paediatricians at The Great North Children’s Hospital. Our Youth Workers then support young people to run 3 times per week in Leazes Park Newcastle, building up to a timed 2K at the end of 4 weeks. To encourage participation and remove barriers for young people to get involved, each young person receives an e- voucher to purchase sports clothes, trainers etc. and they also receive a basic fit-bit watch and Children’s Foundation water bottle.

We are Famous 4.15. We teach singing, dancing and drama. But really, we do a lot more than that…

The Famous ethos is simple: everyone can have his or her chance to shine, whether that means fifteen minutes spent singing into a hairbrush or a major role on stage or screen.

Famous 4.15 teaches classic arts in a dynamic, contemporary way. We offer training that is relevant, exciting and inclusive.

We aim to ensure that the children and people we work with feel empowered and valued and respect for the individual is at the heart of what we do.
