Detached sessions allow the North Benwell Youth Project to engage with potential users and meet young people in the street.

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.
