The National Youth Work Census helps to shape the future of youth work in England by bringing together the views of providers from across the country and is the only comprehensive national survey of its kind, it provides a vital snapshot of the state of youth work in England right now. Not only does it demonstrate the huge impact youth work has on society, it identifies areas for change, discrepancies in funding and areas of local need. It acts as a powerful tool in arguing the case for more investment in youth services and can help shape both local and national funding decisions.
More than 2,100 organisations have participated in the Census to date – our interactive map highlights nearly 28,000 locations in which these organisations are providing youth work. Thisnumber is growing each year.
