OnSide Youth Zones are amazing places where friends are made, futures are found, and lives are changed. Every new Youth Zone is built on the know-how of the last. Every success story writes the first chapter of the next.
We’re grateful to our supporters, with their help we’re building a growing Network of Youth Zones in areas of deprivation across the country; we’ve funded the Talent Academy to support the training of youth workers at all levels; we’ve facilitated the sharing of knowledge and best practise across the Network; and delivered life changing targeted projects that positively impact on the lives of individual young people.
Each Youth Zone supports a staggering 3,000 to 4,000 young people every year. Our Network supports over 55,000 young people. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved and we’re excited about what more we can do together.

Support a new Youth ZoneThe Youth Zone model is tried and tested. Impact reporting proves it works. Local stakeholders testify to the significant, positive difference their Youth Zone has made to their area – not just to young people but their families, their schools, their businesses, their community at large.
