This week is National Volunteers Week and we're kicking it off with a training session!

This week, our 3 new peer mentors are learning all about their role, professional boundaries, and how to be a friendly face to young people accessing our service.

We're so grateful for the time that they are putting in to help make our service more relatable and approachable.

Bank Holiday Monday

From everyone at Positive Futures Gateshead, we hope you are enjoying a well-deserved break.

Bank holidays provide an important opportunity to rest, recharge, and spend time focusing on wellbeing — whether that involves getting outdoors, connecting with others, or simply taking time for yourself.

We look forward to continuing our work supporting young people and communities to build brighter, healthier futures when we return.

Please take care, stay safe, and enjoy the day.

Celebrating National Numeracy Day with Positive Futures!

At Positive Futures, we know that confidence with numbers can open doors, build independence, and create brighter opportunities for young people. 💙

Today, on National Numeracy Day, we’re highlighting the importance of numeracy in everyday life — from understanding risks, to making informed choices and building future goals.

A big shoutout to Daniel from our team, who has recently attended training to become a Numeracy Champion. This will help strengthen our work in supporting staff and young people to build confidence and real-life numeracy skills.

Through our work in early intervention and prevention, we support young people to develop not just knowledge, but confidence — because numeracy isn’t just about maths, it’s about life skills.

Let’s keep the conversation going and empower young people to feel confident with numbers today and every day!

💚 Mental Health Awareness Week 2026 💚

This Mental Health Awareness Week, Positive Futures Gateshead is asking our community to take action to support good mental health.

Even small actions — checking in, listening, making time, reaching out — can help us feel more hopeful and less powerless. And while individual actions matter, when we come together, we are even more powerful.

Together, we can build positive futures rooted in connection, support, and understanding.
