Ashington-based Off the Grid Adventures works primarily with young people who do not access mainstream education services or those who have been turned away previously. Their work includes one-to-one mentoring, team working skills and outdoor activities including gardening, bush craft, overnight camping and archery. Now thanks to support from UK Youth Funding, a new pilot project aimed at improving teenager’s emotional health and wellbeing is being trialled in the Newbiggin and Ashington areas.
