Our Impact

Impact Report 2023-24

In 2023-2024, we worked with 591 members who supported 710k+ young Londoners.

Youth work isn’t just about young people having fun – it’s a pathway to a better future and, at times, a lifesaver. Over the last year, we supported and trained our members, gave young people unforgettable outdoor experiences and took our programmes straight to them – with a real focus on those who don’t usually have access to opportunities.

Take a look at the impact we made together.

28,676 young people

took part in our programmes, events and activities, with nearly 18,000 enjoying our outdoor learning centres

“It's just a brilliant opportunity for young people to be taken out of that inner city life. A lot of them haven't had an opportunity to actually leave the city or even the borough of Camden for that matter.”
- Evans, Youth Programme Manager

2,000 youth professionals

benefitted from 184 training and network sessions we delivered

180 member organisations

76% of young people

on our programmes were from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities

“We need to ensure that young people from Black, Asian and minority communities are getting the same opportunities as everyone else, and that those who are less likely to access outdoor opportunities are given extra resource to do so.”
- Deon Barrett, outdoor adventurer and London Youth ambassador
