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.

Newburn Activity Centre is a registered non profit charity, ran by a local community trust. The centre is located on the outskirts of Newcastle about 6 miles from the city centre.  We aim to provide a wide variety of activities at an affordable price to the community. 

The Bostey is a well-connected project in Walker and an established member of the Walker Workers group.  They play a leading role in planning and developing collaborative projects with other partners in the East End of the City. Their services are aimed at local families, children, and young people. The team deliver youth sessions over 5 days per week as the demand for our services have increased.
