Northbourne Youth Initiative was set up in 2000. We are based in an end terrace house on the estate we have always had a presence in the local community and are embedded in the local area. We are a local charity working with those who need us most. Many are from the estate, but we are targeting a wider remit now, as we grow and are able to offer more services for young people.

Youth work sessions for young people aged 11-19 across several areas. Please look at the website for details.

Making a positive difference to the lives of young people.

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.
