Children North East is a large North East based children’s charity that works across the region, with some work extending across England, Wales and Scotland. We exist because growing up can be hard.

This work will place Children North East at the forefront of Youth Work delivery across the North East Mayoral Combined Authority, which will contribute to the reach and growth of youth work in the region. This work is powered by strong relationships across the youth sector and within organisations, which will lead to long term sustainable partnerships that will benefit young people across the North East long after this NCS funding. Through the leadership of this project Children North East can feed into policy and work with partners, agencies, local and national government to campaign, challenge and influence change around the National Youth Guarantee.
