Youth, education and charities - Exploring causes and issues - NPC

Children, young people and charities

From youth clubs and in-school schemes, to access programmes and support services, charities and their funders play a vital role in improving educational, social and emotional outcomes for children and young people. This work is varied and often intersects with complex social issues like poverty and abuse.

We’re exploring how these efforts can be even more impactful. Our Everyone’s Environment programme is exploring how the climate and nature crises will impact young people and what we can do to support our young people. Through Signpost+ we are working collaboratively with communities, data folk, the social sector and beyond to ensure that young people find support when they need it. And through our work with the Ethos Foundation we have been using a systems change approach to explore how to build better child poverty prevention systems.

Previously our work on the Youth Investment Fund was the largest shared measurement project ever, we worked with the Building Connections Fund to understand how co-design and technology could be used by youth clubs to tackle loneliness, and through our My Best Life partnership we explored digital solutions to the challenges young people face. Find out how you can get involved in this work.
