A place to belong, grow and be heard.
Supporting children and young people across County Durham
Youth Clubs
Safe, welcoming spaces where young people can make friends, have fun, try new activities, and receive support from experienced youth workers.
Sexual Health Support
Free confidential sexual health support and information for young people across County Durham
Counselling Support
Free, confidential counselling providing young people with a safe space to talk, feel heard and get support when they need it.
Creating opportunities beyond the youth clubs
From day trips and outdoor adventures to creative projects and new experiences, we give young people the opportunities to build confidence, make memories and discover what they can achieve.
Why our work matters
30% of children in County Durham are living in poverty.
Alongside financial hardship, many young people face challenges with their mental health, isolation, and access to safe spaces.
DCYP provides trusted adults and positive opportunities, and somewhere young people can belong, be heard and reach their potential.
