Success4All Leads The Way With Tutor Befrienders Our first tutor befriender training session was held in 2007, in addition to our 3 day-intensive GCSE revision course at the University of Newcastle. We also hosted our African Summer School at Kids Kabin.

  2008 WOW, what a busy year for languages! We set up an Anglo-Italian friendship association for GCSE & A-level students and Spanish and Chinese Language Clubs at Walker Riverside Academy, previously Walker Technology College.

  Merhaba! Bonjour! Hallo! Merhaba! Bonjour! Hallo! We introduced new Turkish, French and German clubs to schools. We also celebrated European Neighbourhood Day at Kids Kabin, started a Manga cartoon drawing club and introduced Indian and Chinese cooking classes in Kids Kabin.

2009 As well as hosting an intercultural holiday club at Kids Kabin, we also trained sixth-form students from Walker Riverside Academy to become AQA accredited tutor-befrienders.

2011 2011 was a busy year for our Language Clubs, as more clubs opened up in schools and community hubs across the city. In 2011 we also worked on a BBC animation project and awarded the North East Diversity BME Education Award.

Make Way For WEYDA In 2012, our Manga Club transformed into West End Young Digital Artists, also known as WEYDA. The group’s newfound passions saw them launch their very own film, “West End Heroes”.

A Year of Recognition 2013 was a significant year for Success4All. It was the year when we came a cooperative, launched our website and created our Twitter account. We also kickstarted started six learning hubs, and our young volunteer, Abdul Samad, was awarded the Princess Diana Award. All in all, 2013 was unforgettable.

  STEM’S THE WORD 2017 was a year of change. To begin with, it was the year we introduced our 6-week STEM Saturday Club and the year our Learning Hubs grew to eight flourishing hubs.

  FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH We became an approved DBS centre in 2018. Our STEM Saturday Club that we piloted last year became a fully-fledged STEM Challenge programme, and WEYDA spent a week in Finland on a European-funded project called Eurosole. In 2018, a eureka moment led to the inception of our Learning Bus.

We also welcomed 3 EVS volunteers and WEYDA embarked on a rebrand whilst simultaneously working on their…
