Our specialised group programmes are influenced by the young women themselves – giving them real ownership over what they learn and create together.
Young Women’s Project (YWP) is a charity based in Gateshead that provides a safe space for any young woman or mother aged 11-19 who has been referred to us because she’s struggling to overcome life’s roadblocks and needs someone to lean on.
how we help
-
Working with pregnant young women and teenage mothers, we help them navigate the challenges of early parenthood, including health, education, and financial pressures.
-
Meeting young women at home, often where they feel most comfortable, we provide personalised support for those who are maybe neurodiverse, shy, or are experiencing mental health challenges.
-
Many young women choose to access support from our on-site female counsellors because they feel safe, accepted and understood, and like knowing exactly who they’ll meet each time.
-
When things feel overwhelming, we speak up on behalf of young women. As trusted advocates, we make sure they’re heard, have access to the support they’re entitled to, and can move forward with confidence.
here to help young women shine
We’re a life changing service for young women who’ve lost their spark and help them find their light again.
Through our consistent, and compassionate approach which is grounded in safeguarding, we build trust so that young women feel safe enough to open up to us, knowing they’ll be met with understanding, care, and professionalism.
keep our bright red door open
When a young woman rings our doorbell, what she finds on the other side isn’t just guidance. It’s a lifeline. Your support will have a lasting impact that continues to shape who that young woman becomes. Find out about the ways you can help our charity.
