TRINITY YOUTH AND CHILDREN'S PROJECT
We are here to help young people growing up in east Middlesbrough and their families flourish. North Ormesby can be a tough neighbourhood to grow up. According to official statistics 64% of children live in poverty. We seek to offer quality after school and holiday activities in a safe and nurturing environment where they may grow in confidence and learn life skills.
