Ten years on - the case for Young People’s Foundations (YPFs) is stronger than ever. After all the discussion about the new National Youth Strategy, and the renewed attention on what young people need to thrive, the John Lyons Charity Report looking at a decade of the Young People’s Foundations, offers a moment for reflection.

This year’s Autumn Budget, announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves, delivered updates on income tax, state pensions and mileage based EV charges - but what was noticeably absent was any long-term solution to rebuilding the UK’s youth sector. 

If you’ve come across Young H&F and wondered what a Young People’s Foundation actually is, you’re not alone. The term might sound a bit sector-jargony, but in reality, YPFs are quite a simple idea.
