“Youth work played a huge part in my growth — it was essential during my formative years.” — Bobby Youth work boosts young people’s wellbeing for life, but funding cuts, burnout, and staff shortages put it at risk. Help sustain youth services this winter. 💛 Donate: www.ukyouth.org/donate/

Young people are telling us what they need. Hear from Billy: More safe spaces. More trained support. Less stigma around mental health. But with 1 in 4 young people experiencing a probable mental disorder, too many face these challenges alone.

We welcome the government’s new National Youth Strategy - long-awaited recognition of the vital role youth work plays in supporting young people’s mental health, employment, and safety. This is an important step toward rebuilding youth services after years of underinvestment.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated during our Big Give! 💙 Your generosity truly makes a difference. Did you know? For every £1 invested in youth work, the benefit to society is between £3.20 and £6.40 Together, we’re helping young people find support, purpose and a brighter future.

🎁 One donation. Twice the impact - last chance! Thank you to everyone who’s donated so far to help young people like Billy, Arena, Ayaan, Rifan, Yosias and Thomas share their voices and shape their futures. 💙

One donation. Twice the impact. “Before youth work I had no way of expressing my feelings. I’ve now been able to express joy and sadness and a lot of different feelings. I enjoy coming here to do different activities.”

One donation. Twice the impact. “I attended my local youth club, enjoyed the music sessions, then began volunteering. I secured a job instead of struggling in the job market.” Around 12.8% of young people aged 16-24 in the UK are currently NEET (not in education, employment or training.

One donation. Twice the impact. “Being involved in youth work exposes you to different opportunities and enables you to better yourself as a person.”

One donation. Twice the impact. Nearly 1 in 8 young people in the UK are not in education, employment or training - but youth work is changing that. 💙
