Our Impact

Moving On works with young vulnerable people who are at risk of or who have experienced homelessness.

Making a real difference to young people's lives

Our beneficiaries live in County Durham, which consists of many former mining villages and pockets of disadvantage dispersed across a large geographical area. Our beneficiaries have numerous and myriad challenges including:

  • Poor mental and physical health (often as a result of unresolved trauma)
  • Learning disabilities
  • Drug/alcohol dependency
  • Lack of positive networks or social support
  • Lack of qualifications
  • Criminal record
  • Unemployment and lack of ambition.

Many have been temporarily accommodated in inappropriate accommodation, where they may have acquired additional habits and developed harmful friendships that make their needs even greater.

As a result, these young people are very difficult to engage in society. Our experience, developed over 3 decades, has allowed us to develop successful approaches that make a difference.
