BYC closed in March 2024 – its assets are now under the guardianship of @NatYouthAgency who will continue to champion #YouthVoice while this profile is dormant.

The British Youth Council is sad to announce its permanent closure after more than 75 years of championing the voices of young people.

Fantastic news for young people coming out of today’s EU-UK Summit 2025 as a commitment in principle is agreed for the UK to re-join the Erasmus+ programme, the international programme for education, training, youth and sport in Europe.

NYA advocated tirelessly for access to Erasmus+ through our seat at the table on the UK/EU negotiations with UK Young Ambassador @CuttinMaurizio representing BYC, spearheading the push in NYA’s space on the group.

It's distressing to see a Black boy in Carlisle being racially attacked. We are aware that arrests have been made, however we hope the perpetrators will face charges for their actions. We send solidarity to the child and @antiracistcmbra for their support for him and his family.
