Youth Ink is a forum operating in the heart of communities and led by people with experience of the criminal justice system. Youth Ink uses the power of peer networks to rehabilitate and to create safer communities for the future. By harnessing these relationships and improving collaboration with decision-makers at all levels.
Youth Ink ensures justice policies have maximum impact on the most vulnerable individuals in society. Youth Ink comprises those who have lived experience of the criminal justice system and the wider issues surrounding it, such as racial discrimination, addiction and mental health problems.

By including marginalised people in the development of the solutions, Youth Ink develops youth justice interventions that meet the needs and concerns of those whose lives stand to benefit most.

We have developed a tried and tested model that enables understanding, collaboration and change. Successful rehabilitation and re-integration begin with changing and adapting Youth Justice Services into programs that meet real, identified needs centred on collaboration with young people and stakeholders.

Youth Mix has been set up in response to the severe and detrimental cuts to funding and young people's services across England, including the mass closures of youth services across the country, leaving young people with a lack of services and support, and an increase in youth crime, self-harm and suicide. Young people are feeling more and more isolated and  feel segregated from society with no real voice or future prospects.

At Youth Mix we aim to facilitate real change in the lives of young people aged 16 to 26 years old by facilitating informal educational activities, training opportunities and life experiences that inspire young people while providing tools and skills to help young people lead active and independent lives.

“Youth Music’s vision is that one day, all children and young people will be able to have musical lives.

We're a national charity investing in music-making projects which support children and young people aged 0-25 to develop personally and socially as well as musically. We work particularly with those who don’t get to make music because of who they are, where they live, or what they’re going through.”

“Youth Music has appointed four new ambassadors. Presenter and multi-instrumentalist Myleene Klass, electronic music duo Bicep, folk musician and band leader Kathryn Tickell and musician and film composer Ollie Howell. Since its foundation in 1999, three million children and young people – from early years through to early adulthood – have made music across England in projects funded by Youth Music, with support and funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England.”

We have ben  awarded £1.5m for a 3-year programme under the Young Londoners Fund - Haringey Community Gold (HGC). This now represents an extensive programme of activity across a consortium of Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) delivery partners including delivering activity at neighbourhood level across the borough.

Activity includes extensive outreach and engagement, employment support, sports and play, mentoring, mental health and leadership training. The programme is youth-led and through dialogue and relationship building, HCG is able to engage young people into many local initiatives.Young people can choose which programmes they are interested in to create a bespoke experience for themselves. We want to support you to stay on track, take the opportunities you want, develop relationships and leadership skills and have good mental health and wellbeing.

The HCG programme continues to achieve remarkable results, despite the lasting impact of lockdown on the recruitment of participants.

One in seven children are obese by the time they start school, increasing to one in four by year six (NHS, 2021). The Youth Sport Trust (YST) is the UK's leading charity improving every young person's education and development through sport and play. The YST equips educators and empowers young people with the vision of creating a future where every child enjoys the life-changing benefits of play and sport. The YST works across the UK and internationally, equipping and empowering the next generation. Sport gives young people a platform to have their voice heard and a place to feel they belong. We are a leading source of PE and youth sport news, insight, and opinion. We harness this extraordinary power to change young lives today and help them build a brighter tomorrow. We do this by (1) running inclusive and innovative programmes, (2) bringing together communities of educators, and (3) providing practical tools and resources. We have identified six key groups of changemakers and how they are best placed to help build belonging: Educators, Young people, Organisations, Influencers in public life, Families, and Ourselves.

We work in collaboration with statutory organisations, commissioned services and charities to provide a more cohesive approach to providing solutions.  

Youth Unity CIC is a "not for profit" organisation established to provide effective help and support to vulnerable young people and adults affected by group violence (gangs), drugs and other forms of exploitation such as human trafficking, CSE and extremism.
