Kye's Kick-Off
This match is being played in honour and memory of
Kye Kevin Cunnington. Kye suddenly passed away in December last year from leukaemia, after a year long battle with Ewing Sarcoma. He battled through until the end with a positive attitude for his future, a future which he absolutely deserved.
This match is gathering money and support for the Teenage Cancer Trust who support families in similar situations to Kye’s. Not only this, this match will be a great way to remember and honour the fierce and inspiring soul that Kye was.
Please give what you can and show your support for both of our brilliant teams.

Supporting our Young People into University - Our Guide
One key talking point when visiting Newcastle University on our recent trips, was discussing the range of routes and support available to students from varying backgrounds, to ensure that they can still access the opportunities that more privileged students can access. This ranges from reduced grade offers, to financial support whilst at university, to a support network of similar students before they begin university; we have collated this helpful guide of some of these access schemes available in the North East.

Future Planning
Future planning is essential. We always encourage young people to have a goal. Passing an exam is not enough. Why do they need the qualification? What are they going to do with it? If they do not do as well as expected, what is their plan?
