For every £1 invested in it, at least £8-worth of voluntary activity is generated. It organises about 500,000 committed adult volunteers to support it as well as 40,000 trained youth support workers and more than 7,000 fully professionally qualified youth workers. Their work generates hundreds of millions of hours of voluntary youth involvement each year.
This service is a partnership between the voluntary sector and local authorities. It is the one service working with young people that Ofsted has said is consistently improving. Funding agencies have consistently said youth workers’ relationship-building work to provide youngsters with personal and social education is highly cost-effective.
