Frequently Asked Questions |
 |
 |
||
No but we do ask that all young people who come into The Point fill in a slip so we can tell how many people we see each month. It does help if you give your name as we can then tell how many different people we see each month. However, if you do not wish to give your name, then that is ok as we aim to offer a confidential service. It’s your choice! |
|||
| No, not unless you tell them. If you are worried you will see someone you know at The Point then you can speak to a worker over the telephone and arrange a time to visit when it is most convenient for you. We offer one to one rooms to ensure confidentiality. | |||

| The money to set up The Point came from central government in the form of the Single Regeneration Budget (SRB4). Since this pot of money came to an end we have been funded by both statutory organizations and charitable trusts. Current funders are The National Lottery, Northern Rock, Coalfields Regeneration Trust, Northumberland Teenage Pregnancy Team, Northumberland Drugs Action Team, Northumberland Youth Service. | |||||
| The Point is managed by a voluntary Management Committee, the Chair being Nicola Sugden. The Management Committee is made up of trustees (some of who are young people over 18yrs) and other agency workers who attend meetings as advisors. |  |
