Our Focus

HELPING OUR COMMUNITY TO THRIVE. ELIMINATING INTERGENERATIONAL POVERTY AND INEQUALITY. INCREASING LIFE CHANCES OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH PEOPLE

EDUCATION

A solid foundation in education is key to success later in life. 
In the last 5 years, Newcastle Booster Club (NBC), has been helping the community especially those  who need 'a boost' in their academic lives due to lack of adequate help  in their education. Newcastle Booster Club provides free after school 1-2-1 tuition, home work support to the children and youth in the community. 
Our aim here is to encourage all the youth and children to AIM 2 ACHIEVE (A2A), to reduce school dropouts and increase life chances 

HOLIDAY CLUB

NBC Holiday Club (a free holiday club) which has been running since 2015 supports community children from age 5-18 by providing free different holiday activities (sports, play and music) and trips outside of Newcastle during school holidays. The Holiday Club activities support the mental health of our youth and children in the community.



A visit to the SILL: National Landscape Discovery Centre, was a boost to the emotional and mental health of the children and the youth in the community for those who couldn’t have been able to get away during summer holidays without the Holiday Club.
