OUR MISSION

We help empower young people to turn the
places they live 🏠 into places they love ❤️

Despite representing nearly one third of British society, too often young people are excluded from decision-making, lack access to affordable opportunities, and struggle to find spaces that reflect their creativity, ambition and potential.

Through our engagement, we aim to fix that problem by giving young people an active role in shaping their towns and cities, to help turn the places they live 🏠 into places they love ❤️

We invite you to join us on that journey by working with us to provide a place for youth in your local community.
