Everyone—regardless of circumstance—deserves to feel safe, supported, and included. At Community@NE66, we provide trauma-informed, welcoming environments that meet people where they are. Our spaces prioritise emotional and physical safety, especially for those experiencing the compounding effects of rural isolation, poverty, and austerity. This focus ensures that people feel safe and every individual feels supported and included, laying the foundation for long-term resilience.

We support young people and families to build self-regulation, confidence, and aspiration. By centring lived experience and listening deeply to the needs of our community, we design programmes that equip people with the tools to navigate life’s challenges. Through youth work, advocacy, and relational support, we help individuals develop stronger self-esteem and clearer ambitions for their futures. This approach helps people make better decisions and fosters positive aspirations and mental wellbeing.

We believe that everyone should have access to enriching, joyful experiences that promote growth and connection. Through creative play, informal learning, trips, and shared activities, we bring people together and create opportunities for new experiences and treasured memories. This work enhances health and wellbeing while reducing feelings of isolation—especially important in rural communities where services and networks are limited.

Our commitment to challenging the deepening impact of rural deprivation is rooted in grassroots action. We work collectively with our community to address the root causes and consequences of poverty, ensuring that no one is left behind. Through accessible support, targeted programmes, and ongoing advocacy, we empower people to make positive choices and help reduce the number of families living in poverty. Our goal is a stronger, more connected community where everyone has the chance to thrive.
