We run drop in and closed groups for children and young people. Some of these are focused around a particular activity (such as Sporty Legs, where we play sports and explore faith together) and others are focused around a particular location (like the Byker and Walker bubbles that currently meet once a week). We even run a bible study using board games to explore faith! All these spaces are shaped by the young people that attend, and include space to have fun, learn new skills, and grow together. We also run toddler groups for families with younger children.

Tyneside Outdoors (TO) provides out-of-doors fun activities in and around Tyneside for young people aged 11 - 16 years old.  We meet each week in local parks, playing a range of games and activities and also take part in regular trips and activities at other local places, such as the beach or other countryside spaces.  We also provide bike activities such as BMX, Mountain Biking and bike repair activities.
