NE Youth launched Big Summer campaign
NE Youth - the leading youth development charity in the North East believe that every child should have access to safe spaces to meet up, good meals to fill them up and a chance to enjoy the summer holidays. They are inviting people across the North East to help shape the future — one young person at a time.
Big Summer is a bold new campaign to give young people across the region a summer packed with food, fun, friendship, and freedom. For many, school holidays can be a time of isolation, hunger, and missed opportunities — but they are determined to change that.
NE Youth are a universal youth service, open to all young people regardless of background or income. The goal is to raise £30,000 in the next two months to provide six weeks of safe, supported, and inspiring activities — with nutritious meals, creative experiences, and spaces to just be themselves.
But they can’t do it alone.
Corporate partners and individual donors can help them make this vision a reality. By supporting Big Summer, you’re not only giving back — you’re investing in the region’s future talent, resilience, and wellbeing. Your contribution directly funds:
• Hot meals and food provision for every young person who joins
• Inclusive, engaging youth activities that develop confidence, skills, and friendships
• Safe community spaces where young people can connect, learn, and grow
Youth work is transformational. It’s about more than keeping young people occupied — it’s about unlocking their potential. From developing leadership and communication skills to building resilience and emotional wellbeing.
