Last week we spent some time at NE29 Youth, an event organised by Northumbria Police, that brought together local organisations and Police Cadets from across the area.

It was a great opportunity to meet people who care about many of the same things we do – creating opportunities for young people, helping them build confidence, and supporting them to make positive choices for their future.

One of the best things about events like this is simply making connections. A conversation today can become a partnership, an opportunity, or a source of support for a young person tomorrow.

A big thank you to everyone involved in organising the event. We're looking forward to seeing YouthFest grow and to being part of future events.

Last weekend, six brilliant volunteers completed their HoodEx mentor training.

Over the training sessions, there were some really honest conversations, lots of learning, and a shared passion for wanting to support young people in a positive way. These mentors are now ready to be matched with mentees through our Turn-Around Project — and we couldn’t be prouder of them.

A big thank you as well to Christiane and Ron who helped organise and deliver the training. Creating spaces where people can learn, connect, and grow together is such an important part of what makes this project work.

The Turn-Around Project is all about giving young people support, encouragement, and someone to talk to — someone who believes in them and helps them see new possibilities for their future. That kind of support can make a real difference.

If you’ve ever thought about becoming a mentor, this is your sign to get involved. You don’t need to be perfect or have all the answers. Just being willing to listen, encourage, and show up for a young person can have a huge impact.
Our next mentor training sessions will be taking place in June and July.

Interested in becoming a mentor or finding out more about the Turn-Around Project? Contact Christiane on [email protected] — we’d love to chat.
