What we do

DurhamWorks is a dedicated programme for young people aged 16-24 living in County Durham who are not in education, employment or training.

We are funded by The European Social Fund, supported by the European Youth Employment Initiative and our delivery partners. Our funding is currently available until December 2021, by then we aim to have supported nearly 10,000 young people.
