YAB is the Youth Advisory Board.
Our YAB is made up of young people aged 13-16, who meet every other Friday.
They advise the charity about the kind of services they want and also gets to have lots of fun! They've been ice skating, played crazy golf and had a go at an escape room. When the group aren't busy supporting the charity or on a trip, they are passionate about supporting young people in the North East.
The team can be reached via their Central Line: 07826 531575 (Mon - Fri 9am to 4pm)
