Vibe – formerly Knowsley Youth Mutual (KYM) – was officially launched last week with a virtual event involving regional partners.

KYM was created in 2014 following a spin out of the youth service from Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, becoming the second youth mutual following Epic CIC’s creation in Kensington and Chelsea a year earlier.

Earlier this year, Epic CIC announced it was to be wound down after becoming unsustainable following government funding cuts.

Vibe will deliver youth work programmes in 10 youth clubs, targeted outreach work and activities at its outdoor education centre for children and young people aged 11-19 year olds, and up to age 25 for people with additional needs and disabilities, across the Knowsley area.
