Have your
voice heard

Your views deserve to be heard on a national level, we listen to what you have to say and help you create change.

Encouraging participation

We’re working toward Flagship National Youth Agency, Hear by Right status, which is the youth sector standard for participation work. We also support the UK Youth Parliament, which means we can enable young people in the North East to support national social change.

“There are always great opportunities and during the pandemic I really don’t know how we would of coped without the much needed support NE Youth have provided. I am really grateful, not only to help us support young people, but it’s also helped our staff’s mental health”

“Massive thank you to NE Youth. I am very grateful for all of the ideas on how to connect with young people in the pandemic, how we can look forward to the future and also all of the virtual courses and funding information/support. The weekly zoom meetings have been a saviour and have gave me some sort of normality and I personally think it’s helped keep me normal during this time, so I’d just like to say well done and thank you all for the fantastic support.”
