Join the Network

Become part of a growing community of youth groups, practitioners and leaders working together to strengthen youth provision across the UK.

We’re looking for 2–3 pioneering youth organisations to shape this movement with us.

YouthWorks UK is in its founding phase – and we want to begin by walking alongside a small number of locally led youth clubs who are open to learning, testing, and building this alliance together.

If you’re a passionate community leader who believes in the power of youth clubs and you want to be part of something bigger from the very beginning, we’d love to hear from you.

What support might look like:

Every organisation is different, so our support will be shaped with you – but it may include:

Practical help to improve or develop your youth space

Advice on strengthening and growing your youth programmes

Training, coaching or development for your staff and volunteers

Support with income generation, funding bids, or long-term sustainability

Access to shared resources, equipment and opportunities

Connection to other local leaders through a learning network

Someone to think with - and someone who understands your challenges because they’ve lived them

This is a pilot, not a finished product.

We’re looking for organisations who want to learn with us, shape the national model, and help build the foundations of a new movement for locally led youth clubs.

Who we’re looking for:

Locally led youth organisations

Leaders with passion, grit, and honesty

Organisations willing to explore, reflect, and co-design

Community-rooted and relationship-driven

Charities or CICs with a turnover under £200,000
