Derwentside Detached Youth Project

30/10/2026

Today I finally retired from the project. I would not have missed the last 22 years for anything. The project was previously known as Consett Churches Detached Youth Ptolject and has been around since 1981. As well as the young people still engaged by our youth workers I am sure some of you parents remember us. DDYP will continue to serve the community for many years to come. I wish you much luck for the future
