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.

Digital Inclusion / March 25th, 2026
Odin's Poems
As part of our digital inclusion programme, we are open to all kinds of suggestion of help from the members of the community. Odin has been to quite a few of our sessions, and we have helped him in all kinds of ways to get reconnected. This week I was personally delighted that he brought along some poetry that he has written, to share with us, and asked for our help to digitise.
Kye's Kick Off / May 9th, 2025

From planning the big match to running fundraising events behind the scenes, they’ve gone all out to support Kye and make a real difference. This isn’t just about football — it’s about community, love, and coming together for a cause that truly matters.
Consett Heritage Project / March 12th, 2025
Delves Lane Primary School Poetry Anthology Part 3
The children at Delves Lane Primary School learnt about the history of the Consett Steelworks and developed their understanding of the impact that the steelworks closure had, and continues to have, on the community. They created paintings, poems and decorated a quilt. Each group chose a photo relating to the Consett Steelworks, and wrote their own poems using poetic techniques. We hope you enjoy them!
