“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.”

“NE Youth have been an incredible support during the pandemic. The move to online services and still allowing for funding applications has been brilliant. Without this we would not have won Team of the Year Award for the video made by our young people, funded through the Road Code Programme. I can’t thank the team enough for their guided support, not just this last year, but since we have joined as members. Long let the membership continue and the positivity spread through more youth work going forward.”

“In a year of lockdowns and socially distancing, the member catch-up calls with Louise were always a great chance to connect with others in the Youth Sector, to share ideas, laughs and coping strategies! We've also attended lots of really great workshops. We've built lots of connections and the things we've learned have really helped feed our offer to empower young people to achieve their potential.”

“We have taken full advantage of all that NE Youth has offered in terms of organisational support, funding, training and opportunities for young people. In times of uncertainty we were supported alongside other youth work colleagues in zoom meetings, it was reassuring to see others and listen to how small organisations like ourselves were operating and staying safe during the pandemic. All these opportunities have allowed us to expand our youth work offer and to positively contribute towards the personal development of the young people we work with.”

“We feel very lucky to be a part of an organisation which actually does what it says!”

“Overall, NE Youth have done an excellent job in keeping everyone informed and motivated during a very difficult period. I am looking forward to being part of NE Youth as we start the process of re-building and reinvigorating youth services in the North East, post Lockdown.”
