What is the difference between NE Youth and the North East Youth Alliance?
The North East Youth Alliance (NEYA) is a collective of organisations across the North East who are working together to achieve better collaboration and outcomes for young people. NEYA is a funded programme through the National Lottery which NE Youth and Youth Focus NE initiated and supports. The NE Youth membership is distinct to NEYA and many of the opportunities we provide through this offer are not open to organisations outside of our membership.
