Our vision is that North Benwell will not be considered disadvantaged or deprived.  We wish to see the young people of North Benwell enjoy the same possibilities of life as their peers in other areas of Newcastle upon Tyne.

The young people of North Benwell will generate their own hope for the future and be the agents of their own destinies.

These sessions mean that a young person can speak to workers as and when they feel the need of support or advice, or often when a crisis arises.

Please ring before attending.
