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.

This is a warm, caring and kind place to be because:

• We offer small group work and activities
• Parents/carers are welcome to have a pre-visit and to discuss individual needs prior to the activities

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.

This is to support ages 16-25 year olds. For North Benwell Families only. 

Staff are on hand to offer advice and guidance, help with C.V.’s, applying for online courses, applying to college, applying for benefits and settled status applications too. There are laptops and P.C.'s and printers available to use.
