Access Fund Celebration Event

25th August 2021

This year we were able to hold our Access Celebration Event. We were delighted to be able to do this following last years absence due to the pandemic.

We had a wonderful day at Kenton Sports Leisure Centre, coming together to celebrate the achievements of the children and young people alongside their families.

We would like to say a massive thanks to the staff at Kenton Leisure Centre who were magnificent, as well as the people and volunteers who supported us on the day. Finally we would like to say thanks to all the parent and young people who were able to celebrate with us. You were all fantastic!

Despite the pandemic, 129 individual grants were awarded to activities including sports, dance & music lessons, horse riding, and cinema & family passes, as well 10 awards that were used on inclusive activities that young people with additional needs and/or disabilities could access. These activities were used by young people ranging from 3 to 17, from various different backgrounds and locations across Newcastle and Tyneside. We were delighted to be able to celebrate this!
