We cannot afford not to invest in youth work. And the focus just on those at most risk misses a huge range of wider benefits for a diverse range of young people. Investing in youth services is one of the best investments Govt could make. And yet…

📣 We are delighted to have worked with @DCMS to produce three new studies that reveal youth work has a positive impact on young people’s health, wellbeing & employability, with the positive effects lasting into adulthood. Read the report here 👇 https://t.co/UzCrvdbMOg

🧵 (1/5) Today's Spring Budget was a missed opportunity for any specific funding for the youth sector and lacked focus on the biggest challenges facing young people today.

We cannot afford not to invest in youth work. A thread:

We welcome #Labour's commitment to investing in 'youth hubs' to support young people, however, we urge all political parties to guarantee sustainable investment in quality youth work for the next generation, for the benefit of the whole country 👇 @Ndidi1st

Trips away from home can be a young person's first experience of independence & other life skills, as well as a chance to build friendships

Young people at @UKYouth's @AvonTyrrell site told us how their trip had benefitted them:

We've been advocating for increased government funding for the youth sector. Today, we welcome the government's announcement, confirming the next phase of funding for the National Youth Guarantee through the Million Hours Fund and the Adventures Away From Home Fund. (1/5) 🙌🧵

[Lucy Frazer @lucyfrazer_]

Today we have opened the next phase of the Million Hours Fund to provide more positive activities for young people to get involved with.

Over the summer, this fund supported over 400 youth organisations to extend their provision - this next phase will help hundreds more.

[Department for Culture, Media and Sport @DCMS]

NEW: America is a rich country. Britain is a poor country with one wealthy region.

People love to compare the UK to Mississippi, but it’s far more informative to look at UK subnationally, too.

London ranks fairly well, the rest of the country does not 👉 https://t.co/xrIzwYGaCI

[Kayleigh Wainwright @k_wainwright]

This is such an exciting role with @UKYouth! We've got big plans to convene 10,000 cross sector professionals and young people to solve key issues and impact 1 million young people through youth work! If this sounds like a bit of you come and join our team 🌟🔥👀

[UK Youth @UKYouth]

Young people are more likely to experience loneliness than any other age group - & it can have a serious impact on their futures.

Molly Taylor from our Belong Collective & @JacobDiggle spoke to @BBCPolitics about the issue and the need to invest in youth and support services 👇
