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.
