Since 1911 UK Youth has enabled young people from all backgrounds to realise their potential by offering them access to highly engaging and appropriate learning opportunities. Through a national network of youth associations and programmes it reaches 750,000 young people each year in local clubs and projects helping them gain experience, confidence and new skills that will remain useful throughout their lives.

Currently our network of staff and volunteers help young people deal with issues such as family breakdown, homelessness, alcohol or drug abuse, domestic violence, mental health issues, bullying and peer pressure. UK Youth is recognised for making a vital contribution in the area of non-formal learning, offering young people the opportunity to achieve outside the classroom; this work builds confidence and enables young people to make a positive contribution to society.

UK Youth have been an official charity partner of HotChillee’s London-Paris ride for three years running and we are delighted to be now putting together a team to represent us in the Alpine Challenge 2012. Our team includes UK Youth Ambassador James Golding and a mixture of individual and corporate supporters from Accenture and Microsoft.
