UK Youth

UK Youth is a leading charity that exists to ensure all young people are equipped to thrive and empowered to contribute at every stage of their lives. We work with others to ensure that the youth sector is strengthened, supported, and that provision is youth-led, evidence-informed and delivers high-quality outcomes. UK Youth plays a unique role in addressing; the lack of investment into the youth sector, the lack of cross sector understanding of how youth work makes a difference and the limited opportunities to embed effective solutions. These factors lead to mass inequality of access to youth services for young people. Working through networks of youth organisations and supporters, we galvanise a movement of people to support our shared vision. The UK Youth Movement is open to all and currently stands at over 7,000 youth organisations and nation partners, collectively reaching 4.1 million young people. Our mission is to work as a nationwide movement to deliver innovative youth services, grow effective practice and campaign to increase support for youth work.

Today is World Environment Day. And we get to spend it exactly where we should be, in one of England's most treasured natural landscapes. 🌿

The New Forest has stood for over 950 years. Ancient oak woodland, open heathland, rivers and wetlands. It is one of the most biodiverse places in the country, and we are fortunate enough to call it home.

This year's theme is Inspired by Nature. For Climate. It's a simple idea, but a powerful one. The case for protecting the natural world isn't just environmental. It shapes how we feel, how young people develop, and what kind of future we're handing on.

At Avon Tyrrell, our connection to this place goes back to 1891. We hold an ISO 14001 environmental management certification, and we work continuously to reduce our footprint, but more than that, we believe that getting young people outside, into nature, is one of the most important things we can do. Because people protect what they love, and you can only love what you know.

So today, we're not just marking the date. We're reaffirming what we're here for. Happy World Environment Day. Go outside. 🌳
