Initiative provides opportunity for young people to shape local youth services

1 min read Youth Work Participation
Young people are to be given the chance to help shape and run youth services in their area as part of a programme funded by the Department for Education (DfE).

The Young People Friendly Neighbourhoods project – co-ordinated by Groundwork UK in partnership with Sanctuary Housing, FPM and Youth Access – will run in 20 areas across England for 11- to 19-year-olds.

Between now and March 2013, it aims to help up to 1,700 young people design and deliver tailored activities that respond to the needs and priorities of their community. 

It is running in 20 housing estates across England where youth nuisance and antisocial behaviour have been identified as significant problems.

Building on local partnerships with housing providers, residents, local authorities and other community partners, young people will help run and partly own local youth services, including youth-led mutuals.
