Tow Law Eco Ambassadors Film
The ‘Tow Law Eco-Youth Ambassadors Project’ was delivered by Building Self-Belief CIO and was kindly supported by the Energy Saving Trust Foundation and Airbnb. This project supported youth-led conservation and sustainability-based activities that focused upon youth led engagement to improve and educate the wider community on the current climate crisis. The programme enabled a core team of ‘Eco-Ambassadors’ to engage with hundreds of local people around the importance of preserving and enhancing their shared environment.Watch below our Tow Law Eco Ambassadors Film of our 2 year project with Tow Law Millennium Primary School and Blessed John Duckett Catholic Primary School.

The Importance of Vocational Visits to Aid Employability in Young People
At Building Self-Belief, one of the many programmes is the ‘Bridging the Gap’ Youth Employability Programme. Recently, this programme was conducted with year 10 boys from Boldon School. The first few workshops centred around improving wellbeing, and then the boys prepared for their vocational visit by working on goal setting, CV making and considering what makes a good employee.

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.
