Welcome to the Streetwise Young People’s Project website!

We are a young people’s project based in the city centre of Newcastle upon Tyne. We work with young people from all over the north-east - you don’t have to live in Newcastle to come in!

Streetwise has an information and advice drop-in staffed by youth workers and contraception and sexual health drop-in staffed by nurses. If you would like counselling you can drop-in and see a youth worker to make an appointment or give us a ring on 0191 230 5400. *Please note we are no longer able to take reverse charge phonecalls*

All our services at Streetwise for young people are free and confidential. Please see below for more information.

We also provide a range of services to other professionals and groups across the north-east. This includes training, outreach groupwork and counselling services, the publication of research and resource development. Please see Info for Workers page for more information.

Confidentiality

Whatever you tell a Streetwise worker will remain confidential unless we think you or someone else is in danger. This means normally no-one will find out you have been into see us unless you tell them. If we do have to pass on information you have told us, we will always tell you we are going to do this.
