INSPIRING YOUNG PEOPLE
We make it our goal to inspire and encourage young people across Newcastle to be the best version of them selves and exceed expectations.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
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.
BUILDING CONFIDENCE
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"
ALL ABOUT THE YOUNG PEOPLE
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.

About Us
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.
knife crime awareness
Knives Impact Everyone
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."
