Youth services have been on the ropes for years, leaving young people without the support they need to stand a chance.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
YMCA’s latest ‘On the Ropes’ report found that funding for youth services has been cut by 70% in England and Wales since 2010-11.
However, the percentage of cuts to youth services funding varies across England and Wales.
We have a suite of assets below to help highlight cuts to vital youth services, including what that looks like in your area.
