Every young person deserves to succeed. Neetzotz exists to make that happen.

By identifying gaps in the system and creating practical, sustainable solutions, Neetzotz gives young people the tools and confidence for long-term success, preventing fallout — and failure.

A trailblazing operation. A launchpad for success.https://vimeo.com/905608499

Success starts here

Not all young people are created equal. But the mainstream mass-education system is.

Bound to a specific syllabus, schools focus on academic achievement. This often leaves weaker students falling through the cracks, their social or emotional issues left untreated — and harder to reverse.

Not about to take chances on the community’s children, Neetzotz took note — and took action.

Serving 700+ children between the ages of 8-20 — and their parents and staff — we run a rich array of education and extracurricular programmes, helping young people develop skills, confidence and resilience, and granting them the best chance at success.

Word from the wise

“Neetzotz has a rigorous approach to mentoring, tutoring and supporting young people, combined with a creative approach to addressing the unique problems that individual young people experience.”


Terry Mcpartlan
Former manager, Gateshead Sparc project

“Rarely have I felt the level of effectiveness that I did when presenting the education workshops at Neetzotz. Neetzotz is doing much needed, meaningful work in supporting youth and they do so with professionalism and with the direct needs of their beneficiaries in mind.“


Rabbi Shimon Russel
LCSW

“I want to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible support and service you have given during the Covid-19 crisis. My wholehearted thanks for all you have contributed.“


Mrs. Susan M. Winfield,
OBE, Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of Tyne & Wear

“It was a pleasure meeting the Neetzotz team and kids. They were so welcoming and enthusiastic. You have truly instilled a lot of confidence in them. It’s a beacon for the community and a spotlight to the region. You should be really proud of what you have achieved and you have my 100% support!”

My son used to linger on the streets, messing around with friends. Thanks to Neetzotz, he doesn’t have time for that anymore, They’re professional, organized, and he comes home feeling accomplished and happy.
Mrs. I Fordsham


During Covid, our bedtime routine fell apart. When Neetzotz’ phone line was introduced, it gave us back that structure. The kids will be playing outside and come 7:30, they’ll run inside to get into pyjamas and dial the line. They absolutely love it. It’s keeping kids and parents happy.”
Mrs E. Itzinger


“We don’t like our kids biking around the streets. Our streets aren’t safe. But there’s a limit to how much we can give them at home. Neetzotz is a very structured programme where they learn, play and interact with each other in a supervised, caring and fun environment. It’s a real help.”
Mrs N. Bolel




young people, big impact

Meet Issac*

When Isaac came to Neetzotz, he had multiple learning difficulties coupled with social challenges. Sadly, he grew comfortable with his perpetual place, looking in from outside.

But Neetzotz exists to help children academically…

Meet Jerry*

Jerry was an impulsive, immature and often antisocial ten year old. Given his domestic situation, it was hardly a surprise. He had a lot on his shoulders — and it was there to stay.

But Neetzotz exists to help children emotionally…

Meet Fred*

Fred came to Neetzotz with severely low self-esteem. It was hampering his social integration — and it needed no explanation. At twelve, Fred was obese. He couldn’t keep up with his peers even if he tried.

But Neetzotz exists to help children socially…
