Young people often need more than somewhere to go – they need trusted relationships and someone who believes in them. Help us give youth workers more time to build life-changing relationships by offering additional youth club sessions, neighbourhood youth work, and tailored support.

Too many young people are vulnerable, isolated and living with mental health challenges. The Children’s Mental Health Annual Briefing 2024–25 shows that one in ten children and young people in England is referred to mental health services. Many have no trusted adult to turn to beyond their family or teachers. Without opportunities to build confidence, form positive relationships and access support, they can become isolated and find everyday life harder to manage.
We step in to provide much-needed trusted support that many young people would otherwise be without. Our free-to-access youth clubs offer safe places to belong, build friendships and develop trusted relationships with youth workers. Funding will enable us to deliver additional youth club sessions, spend more time supporting young people in their communities, and provide more tailored support for those facing greater challenges.
