Welcome

Welcome to the HYPE Young Person’s Web site!

We’re developing something called the ‘Youth Offer’ for South Tyneside – put simply, we’ll let you know what there is to do and what places there are to go to if you’re a teenager and you live in South Shields, Jarrow, Hebburn, Boldon, Cleadon or Whitburn.

 

One of the things young people have been saying again and again is that you feel like there's just not enough to do for young people in our borough.

 

Well, we think you’re wrong! – there’s loads to do in South Tyneside, more than ever before! But clearly, we haven’t done a very good job of letting you know about it and we have set ourselves the task of changing that.

 

A big part of this is about letting you know about all the great things that you can get involved in. But its also about improving things so more young people get involved, more often and making sure all activities are in a safe environment that's fun for everyone!

 

At the moment, we are working with lots of different young people to find out what they think are the best ways to make sure you know about and use the activities and services that appeal to you. We have big hopes for what the ‘Youth Offer’ will mean for young people in the borough. It should:

 

Help get better information:

 

  • Let you know what's out there, and inspire you to get involved!
  • Give you lots of up to date information about what's going on near to where you live!

 

Get more young people involved in positive activities:

 

  • Bring you together with other young people from all over the borough who have the same interests as you!
  • Make sure there's always something to do that you would want to be involved in!
  • Help you to develop your skills and potential!
  • Help you find out more about yourself through getting involved in new experiences with different people!

 

Make sure we improve what young people want

 

  • Put young people at the heart of the decisions we take!
  • Get young people's involvement and achievements recognised and respected!
