We need a better understanding of the Youth Sector Increase funding & Increase recruitment
The Issue
The North East Youth Alliance (NEYA) wants the government to recognise the importance of the youth sector. Youth services have been cut by 73% since 2010 & annual spending has dropped by almost £1 billion. We want:
- More funding
- More recognition for the vital work we do
- More people to work within the sector.
The North East Youth Alliance campaign #YouthStartsHere centres around shining the light on the sector & the work it does to enable young people to develop holistically so that they can find their voice, influence & place in society. Youth work is already saving the government £3.2bn a year through improved education/employment outcomes AND positive impacts on mental health. It is also contributing £5.7bn annually to the wider economy. With further investment, these benefits would be even higher.
We want more recognition and need more funding.
