Our Mission
Committed to Fostering the Lives of Youth in South Tyneside
At Hands for Youth CIC, we’re committed to building a society where every young person can easily realize their potential and achieve their goals. We believe that providing children a nurturing environment is essential to their overall development. Today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders, and through personalized attention and guidance we are essentially providing them with all the resources they need to thrive as leaders in years to come.
Our Beliefs
Striving to Make a Difference
Hands for Youth CIC sees the value in providing youth with all the tools, resources, and support they need in order to reach their potential. We hope to create a more vibrant and compassionate neighbourhood where Hands for Youth CIC is seen as an essential organisation which provides support to youth in South Tyneside.
We go above and beyond to prepare our youth to become responsible, actively engaged global citizens and leaders.
Meet our Founders
Our Founders; Nicole and Rebecca, were born and raised in South Tyneside. Both grew up without proper mental health, poverty and educational support - simply, because there were very few services available. Even now, they have found that services that are available to young people, have year-long waiting lists!
Nicole and Rebecca created Hands for Youth to tackle the service crisis for young people, provide affordable and engaging support that has no waiting lists!
Our Team
We value our community within South Tyneside and that's why our team consists of fantastic volunteers that we could not be without.
