Background

Our team have cumulatively 88 years of experience in youth and community development we believe that with this experience we can develop Youth Unity to become the one stop shop for young people to seek help advice and training to enable them to go onto leading sustainable and healthy lives. To encourage better community cohesion by running events and projects that bring BAME, LGBT including people with disabilities together to form a better understanding of our differences.

Our team have over the years delivered film workshops in schools, colleges and pupil referral units. Teaching young people of all ages the importance of using social media responsibly. We also run more specific intervention workshops aimed at young people at risk. Our work is aimed at young people between the ages of eight to twenty-four years old.

Our projects are delivered across London and various parts of the UK, working primarily but not exclusively with Young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who are NEET or unemployed.

Youth Unity’s vision is to empower our young people and give opportunities to get involved in activities and training that build a sense of ownership and at the same time can create income and employment. They gain a sense of understanding responsibility and their rights in regard to being young at this time in society. Through specific tailor-made programs, we help to build self-esteem and promote a healthier lifestyle, as well as teaching them the power of earning a legal and responsible living.

Young people can often find it difficult to find and keep good sustainable employment. This can be due to a lack of opportunities and also the lack of appropriate resources. Specifically, young people from Black and ethnic communities can sometime find it challenging seeking employment as there may be fewer placements available to them.

Our projects address the traumatic experiences of serious youth violence and since the lock down the extra impact of COVID 19 our mission is to give opportunities for these young people to talk openly about how they feel now and what they feel the future holds for them and what they feel they can do to make the most of the current climate. It will also address, how young people feel about reintegrating back into schools, colleges and employment, as many young people are now facing a future that is very uncertain.
