NE Youth are celebrating after raising over £73,000 through their annual corporate shoots.
NE Youth’s Corporate Clay Pigeon Shoot took place on Friday 16th June and the John Shallcross Memorial Shoot took place on Sunday 18th June 2023. Both events were set in the stunning Hulne Priory in Alnwick with the aim to raise money to support services for disadvantaged young people in the North East of England.
Over 360 individuals were in attendance over the weekend, with a record-breaking 63 teams entering for the chance to prove their shot and win top prizes.
The winners of Friday's shoot were Widdrington Game and on Sunday, Silvermoor Equestrian Haylage retained the trophy from last year.
Story Homes and Queensberry Design were the main sponsors whilst The Inn Collection Group, Bradley Hall and Northumberland Estates were supporting partners for both events.
The incredible amount of money raised can fund 2 full time Youth Workers for a year, providing support to over 600 young people across the North East through information, advice and guidance and a fun and rewarding programme of activities.
NE Youth support young people across the region through residentials, youth groups, sports clubs and fun days. Providing safe and accessible spaces for young people to meet friends, learn and play is vital to NE Youth's mission.
Working across diverse communities in the North East, the team of Youth Workers at NE Youth ensure children and young people can thrive.
Jon Niblo, CEO of NE Youth, commented: "We are blown away by the shoot this year. With the cost of living crisis affecting everyone we didn’t expect to reach last year’s target, never mind surpass it. The money raised will mean 100's more young people will be supported across the region. I thank everyone involved from the bottom of my heart”.
