Introduction to UK Youth

Please note:  This information has been extracted from the www.ukyouth.org website

We’re proud to facilitate a vibrant movement of people and organisations to stand with young people and campaign for them to have equal access to high quality services in their community, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Our movement for change is led by Changemakers and Innovators and builds on our existing network of 3,536 youth organisations and services, estimated to support 1.5 million young people, to create a powerful community committed to building bright futures for young people.

Changemakers can join the movement for free. UK Youth provides free support, training and networking opportunities to empower them to achieve our collective aims. Innovators collaborate with UK Youth on developing and growing the movement, as well as providing leadership and support to Changemakers in their local area or nationally.

Through a range of exciting events and activities, we give Changemakers and Innovators the tools to bring about social change. We will bring our national perspective on youth services, the views of young people from across the UK, and our strong cross sector partnerships, to underpin and strengthen the movement.

We support youth organisations ranging from regional infrastructure organisations and statutory or voluntary local youth groups delivering on-the-ground support to local authority-led services and national charities working with and for young people.

We’re committed to working with our movement in five key areas, as shown on the diagram.

People and organisations working with or for young people can join our movement and be part of something bigger.
