Youth Focus North East is a regional youth work organisation which improves the lives of young people. With offices in Gateshead and Middlesbrough, we work alongside young people and professionals to develop responses to the biggest issues in the lives of young people.
Our work with young people
Our direct delivery is driven by the needs and issues of young people in our region. By listening to young people and the professionals who support them, we offer an evolving portfolio of programmes which address key themes.
Our work with professionals
By working with professionals, we seek to inspire, challenge and support the structures and services concerned with the lives of young people. We provide a range of support to facilitate learning, share best practice and develop new responses to the challenges young people face.
Our Impact
Understanding the difference we make is central to our work. Through a number of methods, we collect, analyse and learn about the impact we have so that we can continue to offer quality, relevant services.
