Improving the lives of young people
Youth Focus North East is an independent charity with the overall vision to improve the lives of young people through high quality youth work. We exist for the benefit of young people and the organisations which support them. Working together, we invest in the lives of young people, to create lasting change in their own lives and the communities in which they live. Our organisation is rooted in the values of good youth work...
Honesty – Respect – Equality – Inclusion
We pride ourselves on being a caring and learning organisation. One in which people are encouraged to take risks, learn from mistakes and achievement, and where young people are central to all we do.
At the core of our work is a number of direct delivery programmes aimed at addressing young people’s issues. We support a network of over 340 organisations and individuals providing information, support and professional development.

The Centre for Youth Impact is conducting a UK-wide survey of organisations working with and for young people. This survey aims to better understand how organisations support young people to influence the decision-making of others – those working across areas that affect young people’s lives or on issues that matter to young people. They want to find out how this takes place, which young people take part and how they are supported to do so.If you are an organisation who helps young people to engage in decision-making or supports them to influence others, then this survey is for you. This is an opportunity for your organisation to share your views on what works, what barriers you are facing, and what support you think is needed for young people’s voices to be heard.Feed in your organisation's views here - bit.ly/YFNEsurv ...
