Every young person deserves somewhere to go, something to do and someone to trust.
Youth work changes lives. It builds confidence, carves careers and shapes us. But youth clubs need your support.
With consistent cuts in youth sector funding, a pandemic and a cost of living crisis, we are battling to support London’s youth clubs.
Through our network of 600 clubs and organisations, we provide opportunities to young people that they may not otherwise have access to. Our sports, arts, mental health, employability and social action programmes ensure tens of thousands of young people get the chance to really be the best they can be.
With over 40% of children in London living in poverty and the highest rates of youth unemployment in the UK, the time to act is now.
“It has improved my listening and communication skills. My ability and efficiency to get a task done has improved dramatically, and I now feel more confident in a workplace environment!”
– Damon, young person
“I always felt I couldn’t fit in with the fancy people that have millions of pounds and important jobs… But by talking to them, it really helped me realise that there’s not really much of a barrier and some of those people are actually coming from the same place I come from.”
– Samira, young person
