1 min read Youth Work
The national youth work charity UK Youth urged people to spread postive messages about young people as it launched the celebrations for its centerary year at St James' Palace.

Youth workers, businesses leaders and celebrities joined supporters of the charity last week at the anniversary event hosted by the charity's patron, Princess Anne.

The Positive about Youth message launched at the event has been backed by a number of politicians, sports personalities and celebrities including film director Guy Ritchie, MP Natascha Engel, chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Youth Affairs, and champion Olympic rower Katherine Grainger.

Nigel Mansell, the charity's president and former Formula One world champion, said: "I support Positive about Youth because if we celebrate youth, their achievements and their contribution to our communities we will all be the richer. Please join us and let's make a real difference to the way we value young people."
