True Potential and Harrison Centre Fundraises £8,000 for D2 Youth Zone
A youth project in Newcastle that helps young people make the most of their talents and opportunities has received almost £8,000 from the Harrison Foundation and True Potential.
D2 Youth Zone, based in Newbiggin Hall, is a youth work project committed to creating opportunities to empower young people. Its focus is on providing quality youth work with a special emphasis on working with the most vulnerable people in the community. True Potential held fundraising events, including an online Comedy Night, throughout January to help support the charity. Fundraising donations from staff have been doubled by True Potential’s Senior Partners, who remain committed to doing more for the local community.
Since 2007 the Harrison Foundation has sought to work with charities such as D2 Youth Zone, which specialise in enabling vulnerable and disengaged young people to make the most of their lives.
Harrison Foundation trustee and True Potential chief executive, Daniel Harrison, joined a video conference with D2 Youth Zone project manager, Angela Smith, to hear more about their work.
Also attending the virtual meeting were local MP for Newcastle North, Catherine McKinnell and founder of the Harrison Foundation and co-founder of the Pledge, David Harrison.
