The Meadow Well Teenage Wellbeing Programme With Norham High School
The Meadow Well Teenage Wellbeing Programme, in partnership with Norham High School, aimed to enhance the mental health, self-esteem, and aspirations of teenagers living on the Meadow Well Estate in North Shields. The programme focused on improving community engagement and exploring long-term potential, with an emphasis on employability skills and higher education, particularly in arts and creative industries. As part of the initiative, sixteen young participants created a debt management booklet for their peers, addressing a significant knowledge gap. Additionally, they participated in a residential visit to London, where they presented a petition for better community opportunities and youth engagement on Election Day 2024.
