We offer a range of outdoor and adventure activities including canoeing, paddle boarding, climbing, multisports, Duke of Edinburgh, coasteering, archery and loads more.
We accomodate school parties from year 2 upwards. Our activities and packages can be delivered on-site at your school or off-site, dependent on the activity. We have lots of options to choose from, with a huge variety of activities available. Our primary school options focus on skills such as resilience, problem solving, planning, and leadership.
We use a range of venues around the North East.
Newcastle United Foundation is an independent registered charity using the power of football to connect, motivate and inspire people in our region. Through community, education, health and wellbeing, and sports programmes delivered across Newcastle, Northumberland, North Tyneside and Gateshead, we strive to improve physical and mental health, boost learning and career prospects and provide life-changing opportunities for everyone – no matter their goals in life.
We offer children aged 6-14 the opportunity to gain skills for life from practical skills, to life skills, to nights away experiences.
Young people aged 10 - 25 (school year 6 upwards) meet new friends, develop self-confidence and create original plays that reflect their views and opinions in weekly sessions delivered by some of the most exciting theatre makers in the region.
Live Youth Theatre meet weekly throughout the school year, starting in late September. Over three exciting terms young people will develop their skills in stage craft, develop a new play to perform on the stage and explore scripts that have been produced and performed here at Live Theatre.
We run youth clubs for young people aged between 5-18 where young people can take part in activities such as cooking, making music in our music studio, arts and crafts and playing pool and PS4. These are on evenings in our base in Pottery Bank.
We also run alternative education programmes for young people who are struggling in high school. Our programmes vary depending on each young persons needs but each programme will take place outside of school in small groups of no more than 8 young people per group.
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.
Equestrian and Activity Club providing opportunities for young people aged 8 to 18 to learn more about horses and take part in activities such as treasure hunts, workshops and trips.
