To: Local MPs including Liz Twist, Chi Onwurah, Catherine McKinnell, Mary Glindon and Guy Opperman. Make this happen by backing NE Youth’s campaign and encouraging local businesses to fund summer activities for young people.

Support NE Youth’s Big Summer – Help Us Give Every Young Person a Safe, Fun Summer

 We’re asking local MPs — including those for Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, and Northumberland — to back NE Youth’s Big Summer campaign and help secure business support. This will allow youth clubs in Blaydon, Lemington, Kenton, Barmoor, Throckley, Ponteland, Winlaton, Fenham, West Moor and surrounding areas to run free, safe and fun activities. Without this support, many young people across our region could miss out on vital opportunities this summer. 

Why is this important?

 I care because youth clubs have been a lifeline for so many young people I know. They’re places to feel safe, have fun, and get support from adults who care. But not all young people are covered by existing funding — and that means some might miss out this summer. That’s not fair. With the cost of living what it is, families are already stretched. If we don’t act, too many young people could end up isolated, anxious, or at risk. I’m supporting this campaign because I want every child to have the same chances: fun, food, friendship — and a safe place to be.
