Backdrop to our work
We believe that every young person, no matter what their background, has the potential to succeed and build a better future for themselves.
The young people we support have often overcome tremendous barriers: ill-health, poverty and lack of confidence to name a few.
Last year The Trust helped over 46,000 young people
We help the young people on our programmes to get the skills, qualifications and experience they need to go on to get a job or go into further education, training or volunteering.
The scale of need
Youth unemployment is estimated to cost up to £155 million per week in terms of benefit payments and lost productivity
Total cost of youth crime is calculated at £1.2 billion each year.
Unemployment amongst young people under 25 years old is now over 20%Over one million young people are not in work, education or trainingOne in six children lives in a household with no income from work
We need to raise £50 million per year in order to help a further 50,000 young people
Young People in prosperity are almost twice as likely to have access to sport as young people in poverty.Without intervention two-thirds of young people will be overweight or obese by 2050.
