Changing Lives help vulnerable, disadvantaged and excluded people to make lasting changes in their lives. We have a total acceptance policy and are innovative, progressive and courageous in our work. We work holistically, combining appropriate services and support for each individual. Our support ranges from emergency intervention to training and employment.

Since 1885, Forces Employment Charity's aim has been to help those leaving and those who have left the Armed Forces to find and to remain in employment throughout their working lives. We aim to make the client 'Job Ready' by signposting them to bespoke support required using our Project Nova network of support and tracking this via our Nova Support team prior to finding them the right employment choice.
Project Nova is an early intervention scheme working in conjunction mainly with the Police and NHS dealing with Ex Military personnel who have been arrested or are on the periphery of doing so. Project Nova works with many partner organisations including HMPPS & CRCs and local authorities along with numerous military charities.

New Beginnings North CIC is a social enterprise based in the North East. We provide an ambitious and innovative approach to delivering social justice for people with neurodiverse needs within the Criminal Justice System.

New Beginnings North provides 1:1 support, care and guidance for people with neuro-differences who are serving short sentences, and working with probation. Understanding the challenges they face we help and guide them as they navigate the complex barriers on their reintegration journey.

In addition to the 1:1 support we run workshops that help to build neurodivergent adults and young people's:
understanding about their neurodiverse strengths;
confidence in applying for jobs;
skills for life;
communication skills;
skills for learning and
relationships and resilience.

Northumbria Coalition Against Crime is a registered charity, set up in March 1990 as a partnership between business, community, voluntary and statutory sectors, with a mission to reduce crime, anti-social and unacceptable behaviour in the North East.

28 years on our objectives remain the same today;

Reduce Crime - Working in partnership to reduce crime and fear of crime
Increase Confidence - Helping to ensure sustainable economic growth
Protect Communities - Developing pro-active programmes to meet need
Encourage Youth - Helping children & young people to grow and develop in the right direction

Our work divides into two distinct, but complementary parts:

Youth & Community Programme
Business Crime Reduction

By taking positive steps towards safeguarding people, premises and property, NCAC encourages communities to work together to protect the places where we live, work and play.
