We make it our goal to inspire and encourage young people across Newcastle to be the best version of them selves and exceed expectations.
We strive to make a difference in the local community and young people's lives by delivering outstanding support and opportunity. We encourage young people to join the volunteer programme to gain knowledge and experience to possibly progress on to job opportunities.
We allow young people to gain confidence to make friends by delivering diverse youth sessions where everyone plays a part, and everyone gets involved.
"Building the confidence to grow from a caterpillar to a butterfly"
The projects we deliver are about the young people, we have listened to their needs, ideas, requests, and the communities needs and have built the programme around this. We run free open-access sessions in various areas, which ensures the young people are active, socialising and getting fed in a calm, safe but most of all a FUN environment.
INSPIREYOUTH TYNE AND WEAR is a non-profit youth organisation. We work across different areas delivering youth clubs. Our juniors are 5-11 years old, inters 11-14 years old and seniors 14-19 years old. We also deliver several other initiatives such as girls groups (11-16 years old), specialised mentoring, school holiday hubs, and detached/outreach work. We aim to resume our disability inclusive group shortly. All sessions are delivered in a safe, controlled, enriching and productive environment. We have an exceptional good record of providing empowerment, improving wellbeing, social enterprise, and preventing and reducing ASB (anti-social behaviour). Our team assist young people to overcome many issues from adverse childhood experiences, abuse, mental health, NEET (not in education, employment or training), learning difficulties, criminal behaviours and CSE (child sexual exploitation).
We are thriving as an organisation and the services we provide to young people are essential. We ensure children and young people are meeting several aspects of their developmental cycle whilst working with us such as: social, physical and emotional. We are remarkably diverse and adaptable to ensure every child's needs are met. We build confidence and self-belief by giving the young people a voice to express what opportunities they would like to accomplish and encourage them to achieve their aspirations. This then allows the children to grow into integral aspects of their local community.
We run a volunteer and a young volunteer programme which has proven to be immensely successful. It gives the community the opportunity to get involved and be a part of an amazing team. As our young people mature, they naturally develop from attending the youth provision into the volunteering programme. Some of our young volunteers have advanced into paid employment opportunities from building skills such as confidence with the INSPIREYOUTH TYNE AND WEAR team. We work in partnership with many organisations which enhances the opportunities of employment.
Our overall aim is to provide youth-led provision where the young people are developing their personal skills, but most importantly having fun in a safe, empowering environment.
Today, we launched our new hard-hitting campaign, Knives Impact Everyone, which features unanswered messages that highlight the devastating consequences of carrying knives.
Throckley Inters done us proud today by taking part in this event.
"A knife is a worse solution in the moment"
"We made sure that young people were at the heart of this campaign.
Focusing on what mattered the most to them, and putting their thoughts, fears & concerns into our messaging & design.
Thank you Inspire Youth Tyne And Wear for your help."

Here at Inspire we have started doing some work in our allotments, as you can see when we first got these allotments they were completely over grown and not accessible, after some time and some hard work by our staff members they have started to look as they should! Of course it will need a lot more TLC to get to where we want them. Our goal is to transform the full thing into a functioning allotments where our young people can come and plant things and watch them grow!
We have 3 different allotments, one is specifically for planting foods which will be planted by our young people and eaten by the young people in our sessions! The other two are going to be decided by our young people, once the grounds have been sorted we are going to bring some young people to the allotments and let them have their say on what they would like to do with the land. More updates will be coming soon!
Our CEO Pamela Gill has recently won the Aspire Award from the Guiness-Partnership for Inspire Youths outstanding work in helping young people in local communities and providing opportunities which can change the lives of venerable young people.
