UK Youth is a leading charity with a vision that all young people are equipped to thrive and empowered to contribute at every stage of their lives.
With an open network of over 7000 youth organisations and nation partners, we are focused on unlocking youth work as the catalyst of change that is needed now more than ever.
For many young people their youth worker is the only person they openly talk to, and their youth organisation is the only safe space they have to be heard and to explore their character on their own terms.
Once you have genuine belief in yourself, it changes everything”
