Cramlington bean bag maker and retailer BeanBagBazaar will donate some of its products to help Northumberland organisations create safe spaces for young people.

The firm, part of Bazaar Group, has partnered with Bedlington charity Leading Link to distribute bean bags to resident associations and young people's service providers it works with in Berwick, Hexham, Cramlington, and Bedlington.

Leading Link, which provides youth services across Northumberland, also runs the Future Proof programme to provide learning opportunities and experiences outside of education settings, and Bazaar Group has signed up to support this initiative too.

“However, Bazaar's contribution goes way beyond the physical bean bags. It signifies a shared commitment to the well-being of our youth.

“We are inspired by their dedication to our cause and their willingness to engage in our Future Proof program.

“We are eager to explore new avenues alongside our young people, enabling them to grow based on their experiences and the opportunities provided by Leading Link and our partners."
