Beyond Youth

Beyond Youth is a project in the Church of England Diocese of Newcastle and the parishes of Ashington, Cresswell and Lynemouth, Seaton Hirst, and Woodhorn with Newbiggin. Our role is to support the parish churches of South East Northumberland to develop and grow their work with children and young people.

Beyond Youth staff are managed by the Children and Youth team for the Diocese and work in partnership with the clergy and parochial church councils (PCC) of the above-named parishes.

If your child is considering getting involved with Beyond Youth for the first time, do read our 'Guide for Grown-Ups' to help you know what to expect.

Volunteering Opportunities

Beyond Youth depends on volunteers to host our various activities and events for children and young people.

From Messy Church, to sharing Bible stories through Open the Book collective worship, helping with detached youth work in local parks and beaches or hanging out in schools at lunchtime playing games and offering a listening ear, you can decide what events and activities you’d like to get involved in and how often you can commit.

Adults of all ages are welcome to volunteer, and those aged 16-18 years old can sign up as a junior leader. All volunteers will receive the training they need and also have access to additional training such as food hygiene and first aid.  

If you would like to find out more about what volunteering with Beyond Youth looks like, you can read our Volunteer Handbook and fill out an expression of interest form.
