“I am lucky to lead such a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, who embody the values of our charity and the local area. Despite being one of the most deprived areas in the United Kingdom, or perhaps because of this, South Tyneside has a strong sense of community and generosity that is truly humbling. To be able to witness the direct impact we have on improving the lives of young people and families in the area provides the motivation to continue to develop this fantastic charity to meet growing needs”.
