YMCA North Tyneside

YMCA North Tyneside is a registered charity that supports
children and young people to be healthy, happy and connected. We focus specifically on young people through our supported accommodation (homeless young people with multiple and complex needs) and our youth and community work in local areas of high deprivation, some of the highest in the country. We support all ages in the community through our Nursery, Gym and Cafe. Our award winning (Youth Matter Awards, 2019) Supported Accommodation project has doubled in the last 18 months. We support young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessess across North Tyneside and neighbouring boroughs of Northumberland, South Tyneside and Newcastle. Our young people have multiple and complex needs such as mental health problems, learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, attachment disorders ADHD and ADD. Many are young offenders and some have been in prison.
