ACANE

ACANE’s Together to Avoid Isolation was initiated in response to the needs of members who felt isolated following the closure of the ACANE centre. Volunteer young people suggested organising DJ music sessions to entertain members and allow beneficiaries to have a day of the week where they could come together and enjoy a moment of entertainment.

Summary: Improve aspiration and music skills of young people and foster relations in the broader community.

Grant: £6,100

Area: Byker

Beneficiaries: 143
