The Junction

The Junction has an excellent reputation for meeting the needs of children, young people and families in Tees Valley. We do this through our five streams of work – Youth Employment, Young Carers, CREATE Youth provision, Children and Young People’s Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing, and Specialist Children and Young People’s Transport. We have built this reputation through our approach to working with local people that focuses on outcomes that make a real difference to their lives and providing ‘exceptional support for exceptional people’. We plan to build on our outstanding reputation to grow our services and the support available to local people. Our vision is a world where no child, young person or family is left to struggle. We want a world where there is always someone to talk to. Our mission is to empower children, young people and their families to embrace life with confidence, facing life’s challenges in a positive way. Our values: We listen. We’ll never tell anyone what we think they need. We let them shape their own support which empowers them towards a healthier, happier life. We genuinely care. Our team is deeply passionate about changing people’s lives. Their expertise is second to none, showing empathy towards each individual’s situation. We don’t judge. We never judge anybody. People are free to express themselves as they wish. We empower. We go on adventures, push children and young people out their comfort zone and tackle issues head on. We show them their potential and believe they can accomplish anything they want to.
