Seven North East charities are to share almost £100,000 in funding to boost community work looking at children's mental health challenges.
The North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care System has been successful in obtaining the cash - and now it will be shared among voluntary and community sector (VCS) groups including Newcastle-based Healthworks and the YMCA in North Tyneside.
The idea is that the funding will be used to encourage young people, their families and people from the region's diverse communities to take part in mental health research. The is "a significant priority" for health bosses in our region.
