Cramlington Voluntary Youth Project (CVYP)

CVYP is a local charity dedicated to supporting children, young people and young adults across South East Northumberland.

Our building first opened as a youth centre in 1990 and quickly became an important part of the Cramlington community. In 2008, CVYP became a Private Limited Company, allowing us to develop our organisation and grow.

We support children and young people aged 8–18, as well as young people and young adults with SEND up to the age of 25.

Through our groups, activities, projects, trips, residentials, award schemes and training opportunities, we work alongside young people to give them the chance to have fun, try something new, develop their potential and achieve their goals.

Our Mission

At CVYP, everything we do is about giving young people opportunities to learn, grow, have fun and be involved in their community.

👂 Listening
We listen to young people, take their views seriously and offer guidance, support and advice when they need it.

🌟 Attitude
We encourage young people to try new experiences, discover what they enjoy and develop positive attitudes and skills for the future.

🤝 Responsibility
Young people have a real say in what happens at CVYP. We encourage them to share their ideas, get involved and take responsibility.

💪 Motivation
We support young people to set goals, learn new skills and work towards awards, qualifications and new experiences. We also encourage them to make a positive difference in their community.

👥 Our Team

Behind everything we do is a dedicated team of youth workers and specialist staff, supported by our committed volunteers.

Together, we bring a wide range of skills, experience and enthusiasm to everything we do. We work to create a safe, welcoming and supportive environment where young people feel valued, can get involved, try new things, build confidence and develop new skills.

At CVYP, young people are at the heart of everything we do. 💙
