We run youth clubs for young people aged between 5-18 where young people can take part in activities such as cooking, making music in our music studio, arts and crafts and playing pool and PS4. These are on evenings in our base in Pottery Bank.

We also run alternative education programmes for young people who are struggling in high school. Our programmes vary depending on each young persons needs but each programme will take place outside of school in small groups of no more than 8 young people per group.

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. 

We can also support young people with housing issues, apostils, document identity, opening bank accounts, and navigating the universal credit system.

Please ring for an appointment before attending.
