Lakota
At Lakota, we believe in the transformative power of empowered communities. Situated at the heart of the river Tees community, our person-centred approach prioritises the aspirations of the community. We offer non-judgmental support through free resources, advice, and workshops, focusing on young people and adults who face social isolation, unemployment, or mental health challenges.
Our mission is to break down barriers, spark potential, foster connections, empower well-being, and unlock employment opportunities. Through tuition, support, and engaging workshops, we aim to ensure equal access to resources and opportunities for both age groups.
