Youth Focus: North East hosted the 8th annual North East Young People’s Awards (formerly the Posbos) on Thursday 18th January 2018 at the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art. On the evening, we were entertained by three fantastic young artists showcasing their musical talent and magic.
We handed out 10 awards to young people and youth projects coming from as far as Berwick and Middlesbrough.
We’d like to thank Newcastle University, Virgin Money Foundation and Tait Walker LLP for their support.
