The move sees NCAC’s services, delivering volunteer mentoring support to young offenders and those at risk of offending, merged into NE Youth’s broader network of services for young people that spans 12 council areas in the North East of England.

NCAC’s latest accounts filed with the Charity Commission show it spent £267,619 for the financial year ending May last year, however its income over this period was £206,355.

“Small charities have found the last few years particularly challenging,” said NCAC chair Sheila Proudlock.

“I am confident that by joining with NE Youth, an organisation which shares the same values and dedication, our intensive mentoring programmes will be sustained and developed.”
