What we do
We provide practical, personalised support for people who want to:
- Explore their passions, skills, and knowledge to identify personal and professional goals
- Start taking steps toward employment, self-employment, launching a business, training, volunteering, or work experience
- Grow an existing business or enterprise with confidence and direction
How we do it
We work in close partnership with a wide network of organisations to offer opportunities such as work experience, peer mentoring, volunteering, training, and skills-based learning.
Our Explore, Start, Grow strategy was shaped by the voices of our community. It brings together programmes designed to raise aspirations, build confidence, and remove barriers – helping people move forward with purpose and support.
Why we do it
A thriving community in Newcastle’s West End, where people create new enterprises, businesses, employment, and training opportunities that benefit everyone.
We believe in people – in their potential, their ideas, and their ability to grow. We're proud to be cheerleaders and champions, providing the right support so individuals can become the best version of themselves.
