Building Self-Belief is a charity based in the North East of England, focused on improving the wellbeing of young people in need and supporting them to build their self-belief.
What we do
We deliver a range of programmes, projects and research across education, wellbeing, employability, community development, heritage and the environment. Our programmes create practical opportunities to learn, gain experience and develop new skills, including through our work with schools, young people, employment and volunteering.
Our community projects bring people together through shared activities and experiences, from environmental and gardening initiatives to heritage, creative and community-based projects. We create opportunities for people to participate, collaborate and contribute to their communities.
We also undertake research and evaluation to understand the issues affecting the communities we work with, measure the difference our work makes and use what we learn to continually develop and improve our programmes.
