middlesbrough youth mutual gets national lottery backing!

Alongside Youth Focus (lead partner), The Junction Foundation and Linx Youth Project, Actes Trust will continue to play a key role in the implementation of the Middlesbrough Youth Mutual (MYM) Strategy as the project has secured National Lottery funding to the tune of over £420,000.

​

The Middlesbrough Youth Mutual (MYM) has been running since 2021 and was developed by the Lead Partners with support from the National Lottery funded North East Youth Alliance which was established to support the development and sustainability of the people and organisations working to improve the lives of young people across the region in 2020.

The MYM is fundamentally about people coming together to share knowledge, resource experience in order to deliver better services together. We want to encourage collaboration for the mutual benefit of organisations and communities we serve and to improve outcomes for young people. People are at the heart of our work and positive relationships and honest communications are key to its success. The MYM strategic priorities have been identified by hearing from young people and the organisations that serve them.

 

This new funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, which distributes money raised by National Lottery players for good causes and is the largest community funder in the UK, will support and enable partners to take the strategy forward with young people, encourage their involvement in delivering the strategy; including recruiting and training a skilled workforce, and ensuring all providers are delivering sufficient quality in youth provision.​​
