The YMCA George Williams College, which merged with the Centre for Youth Impact last year, has published the strategy, sharing its renewed focus on “evidence, quality, learning and improvement, and socio-emotional skill development in the youth sector”.
The plan, which will shape the organisation's work until 2028, includes a re-launch of the college later this year, followed by re-establishing its academic youth work offer by 2026 and rebuilding international partnerships alongside a new evidence base in four-years time.
The strategy states that it is “published amid a challenging backdrop for children and young people across the UK: the cumulative impact of cuts to the sector, the Covid-19 pandemic, the surging cost of living, and reduced support and opportunity has left many young people without access to youth services and relationships with trusted adults at a point in their lives when they need it most.”
