Each year over 300 young people access LYP’s youth cafés. Your support will enable our experienced team of youth workers to assess the needs of these vulnerable young people, allowing us to track impact, design needs-based innovative projects and put in place tailored individualised support plans.

    1 in 5 children across the UK are suffering from a probable mental health disorder*. We strongly believe that early intervention can help to avoid escalation of issues long-term. Every young person should have a place to belong, someone they can talk to and options for support. Too many young people are falling under the radar where issues are not identified early and this can have a life-lasting impact and greatly increase their risk to themselves and others. *NHS England 2023

    Every half term our youth workers meet to assess the levels of need for each young person attending our projects. They are able to obtain a fuller picture of each young person’s needs, understand if any trends are appearing, determine what new projects would best support these needs and create tailored support plans. Dedicating time to regularly discussing each individual young person ensures their needs stay at the forefront of all our youth work.
