What’s next? The Route to 2026

Our work is far from finished. There is still much to do to ensure all young people can fulfil their potential, which is why we are setting out an ambitious 5 year strategy.

This year not only sees us celebrating our 10th anniversary… it will also be the catalyst year for driving the biggest impact to youth unemployment.

We invite organisations to support our work and double down with us on our efforts to tackle youth unemployment. Only by working together – alongside young people themselves – will we see real change.
