In the Tees Valley, poverty rates in some areas reach 46%-85%, more than double the national average of 22%. Many children and families live in the most deprived 10-20% of communities nationally. These areas experience high child poverty, entrenched health inequalities, social isolation, and significant family challenges. Children face limited access to opportunities and low aspirations. Poverty creates a cycle that traps families for generations, affecting nearly every aspect of their lives.
The Junction tackles the impact of poverty on children and young people by providing targeted, practical support. We offer holistic programs that promote education, mental health, and personal development, empower young carers, and deliver youth support. Our Multibank ensures access to essential items, such as clothing, bedding, and hygiene products, for families facing financial hardship, helping to restore dignity, stability, and hope for a better future.
