Projects4Change

Projects4Change responds to the needs of young people. Massive regional and national cuts in youth and community work provision have meant a chronic, decade-long under-investment in youth work. Projects have struggled as their share of local authority funding was dramatically reduced resulting in the loss of many skilled senior youth workers and valued youth workplaces. This meant that many young people in the North East lacked the vital support they needed at a crucial time in their lives.

Projects4Change provides youth-led projects for young people including detached youth work, group work activities, opportunities, residential, advice and information for 11 to 19-year-olds. Our projects help to maximise young people’s potential by supporting them to direct our service to meet their needs, leading to positive outcomes and a brighter future.

Our projects are for all young people but particularly addresses the needs and voices of under-represented and disadvantaged young people.
