Shaping the ‘new normal’ for youth services

The Jack Petchey Foundation has over 1,600 youth organisations, schools and grass roots clubs taking part in our programmes.

The aim was to help guide us on how we can best support them in the coming months. An incredible 462 responded representing schools and youth organisations collectively supporting thousands of young people.
