Youth work changes lives, but too many young people are missing out. Since 2010, over 50% of youth centres have closed, with £1.2bn cut. As Natasha Irons MP leads today’s debate, let’s #InvestInYouth ahead of the National Youth Strategy + Spending Review. #ParliamentDebate

"Youth services are a safe space after school, a place to broaden horizons and build meaningful connections with the outside world..." We couldn't agree more Natasha Irons MP 💚

76% of young people spend most of their free time on screens. Nearly half feel lonely. We asked 5,000+ young people how they spend time outside school and why. The answers are powerful. And clear. Read our latest #GenerationIsolation report → onsideyouthzones.org/generationisol…
