Allendale Youth Ambition operates in the rural community of Allendale and surrounding hamlets in the North Pennines area of Northumberland. We offer a varied programme of positive activities to engage with young people aged 9 to 17 years of age. We aim to plug the gap that arises from rural disadvantage, to support young people in accessing the services they need, signpost where necessary, educate, using informal methods, and encourage them to gain knowledge through activity, challenge and life skills learning.

We have delivered youth work in Allendale since 2001 and our knowledge and experience of the local area underpins our work. Our community is a rural one and the disadvantage this presents to young people directs our work in its content and delivery.Our aims are achieved through positive participation in outdoor adventure, creative arts, and life-skills learning group work.
