Lambton Street Youth and Community Hub

26/10/2026

This week our Talent Lab young people have been working hard on their volunteer skills as part of HAF+, and today they brought that learning to life at the “Places of Hope” event hosted by VCAS. We’re incredibly proud of how they represented Lambton Street.

Thank you to Ben & Jerry’s team, Coalfield RT, Fodi, Sunderland Culture, Gentoo Group, Sunderland All Together Consortium, Groundwork NE & Cumbria, Sunderland Mind, and everyone who joined us and contributed to such a welcoming community atmosphere.

Couldn’t be prouder of everyone involved in our Young Musicians Project Community Social at Pop Recs Ltd today 🎉🎶

Bringing together our Back on the Map Hendon YMP, Lambton Street Youth and Community Hub YMP and our all new Lambton Street Singing Group, today was all about young people having a first go at performing AND showing us how far they’ve come!

Watching young people (some of whom have only been part of our groups since the middle of September) absolutely go for it and watching confidence grow in longer term members was THE BEST.

Big thanks to the super-committed team who make this all make sense- Eddie, Lesley, Marty, Caleb, Beccy, Elizabeth, David, Ashleigh Lowes Music, Scarlett, Isabel, Raf, Alfie, Amy and Lyla💕

Thanks Youth Music and The Rank Foundation for making this possible 🙏

Could Your Next Role Make a Real Difference? 💚

📍 Sunderland
💼 Alternative Provision Support Worker – Term Time Only

Future Pathways is looking for someone with the passion, empathy and commitment to make a genuine difference in the lives of young people.

As an Alternative Provision Support Worker in Sunderland, you’ll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with young people, support their engagement with education and help them develop the confidence to recognise their own strengths and potential.

This is a role for someone who cares.

Someone who understands the importance of listening, being consistent and taking the time to understand the individual.

Someone who can encourage a young person through the difficult days, recognise the small wins and be there as those small steps begin to become real progress.

The impact you make might not always be immediately visible, but the confidence you help build, the trust you develop and the belief you show in a young person can stay with them long into the future.

💚 If you’re passionate about supporting young people and want a role where you can make a meaningful and lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you.
