Simon Cataudo

Fundraising Coordinator

Email simon@neyouth.org.uk

I’m employed as a Fundraising Coordinator by NE Youth, a leading Young Person’s charity based in Blaydon. We support young people aged 11-25 across the region in a variety of ways, from funding and hosting youth sessions in the local community to helping them find apprenticeships and get into work. We are also part of a large network and provide support, advice and information to our member organisations.

My role involves leading on Communications, but primarily to find individuals and businesses to partner with us. We have lots of opportunities to get involved, from sponsoring or buying tables at one of our events that take place during the year, to direct financial donations and even just time and expertise. We have a great volunteer network and board, as well as the Odysseus Mentoring Programme that people can get involved with.

2025 is a landmark year for us as we celebrate our 90th anniversary. We’ll be running a range of extra events throughout the year to mark the occasion. Our main event in celebration is our Gala Dinner on 10th April at The Fed. Tables of 10 are just £550, and we are seeking a headline sponsor for the event. Please get in touch if you’d like to attend or sponsor and we can speak in more detail.
