THurston Family Project
The Thurston Family Project is a joint project between Wellbeing Challenge CIC and South Tyneside Council. It is being funded through the Youth Endowment Foundation for the project to run from January 2020 to June 2022.
Four groups of up to 12 families will follow a year long programme which is closely based on the Family Wellbeing Challenge programme but includes additional sessions for young people led by South Tyneside Youth Service.
This is a big commitment from families and young people but it is a great opportunity for all the family to gain new skills and experiences and to have fun together.
Young people aged 10-14 from South Tyneside and their families will be eligible to be considered for a place if the young person is not engaging well in school, struggling with relationships with peers or adults or where family circumstances have led to difficulties. We will also consider young people who are demonstrating poor life choices such as anti-social behaviour either in the community, at home or at school.
Eligible families will be invited to apply for a place by schools or other agencies.
The Thurston Family Project is an early intervention project and our overall aim is to give young people and their families the skills, knowledge and experience to make and sustain positive changes in their lives.
