Aiming to deliver innovative youth services, grow effective practice and campaign to increase support for youth work

UK Youth is a leading charity that exists to ensure all young people are equipped to thrive and empowered to contribute at every stage of their lives. We work with others to ensure that the youth sector is strengthened, supported, and that provision is youth-led, evidence-informed and delivers high-quality outcomes.

UK Youth plays a unique role in addressing; the lack of investment into the youth sector, the lack of cross sector understanding of how youth work makes a difference and the limited opportunities to embed effective solutions. These factors lead to mass inequality of access to youth services for young people.

Working through networks of youth organisations and supporters, we galvanise a movement of people to support our shared vision. The UK Youth Movement is open to all and currently stands at over 8,000 youth organisations and nation partners, collectively reaching 4.1 million young people. Our mission is to work as a nationwide movement to deliver innovative youth services, grow effective practice and campaign to increase support for youth work.

Donate to our Bursary Fund

Our aim is to give everyone equitable opportunities to Experience, Learn and Develop. UK Youth provides a bursary programme giving young people more opportunities to access outdoor learning at Avon Tyrrell Outdoor Centre.

The smallest donation can help us to provide a funded, rewarding and challenging adventure for young people and support families to experience the natural environment.

Some of the children have never even been more than a few miles from home and almost all of them have not had the opportunity to experience the natural wonder of the New Forest or to take on the challenges available at Avon Tyrrell Outdoor Centre.

Every penny of donations made to our bursary will go directly to young people, allowing them to experience outdoor learning, supporting their personal, social, and educational development, improve health and well-being and environmental awareness.
