TESTIMONIALS

What Our Partners Say

“The North East Child Poverty Commission is a regional, cross-sector network that collectively believes child poverty in our region is not inevitable and ending it is worth working for, together. We are proud to work alongside the North East Child Poverty Trust, to exchange research and ideas, and to learn from the innovative projects they facilitate and evaluate for the benefit of children and young people in our region.”

Amanda Bailey

Director, North East Child Poverty Commission

“NECPT’s Lottery funding empowered Leading Link to develop a Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) program, targeting the 13-16 age group often overlooked. Recognizing low participation rates and dissatisfaction, they engaged youth voices from across Northumberland to co-design a local and national HAF Plus framework. These frameworks were shared with authorities, and Leading Link, along with youth partners, are co-hosting a 2024 HAF Plus national conference. Since 2023, they’ve been implementing their youth-led HAF Plus program across Northumberland.”

“NECPT funded Leading Link for 3 years, vital for developing a Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) program. They ensured participation of 13-16 year olds, addressing low uptake and dissatisfaction. Leading Link engaged youth feedback, co-designing local and national HAF Plus frameworks. These were shared with authorities. They’re now co-hosting a 2024 HAF Plus conference and implementing their youth-led program in Northumberland since 2023.”
