Developed in response to the ongoing challenges facing the Children and Young People's sector, Young People's Foundations bring together the public, private and voluntary sectors to effect positive change for young people.
Young Brent Foundation works with over 200+ play and youth organisations and delivers focused support and activities that develops capacity, encouraging greater opportunities to connect, collaborate and succeed.
Our aim is to create an evidence based, needs led community partnership model that unites a diverse voluntary youth sector, and creates a strong united voice, equipping members with the training, resources and financial support they need to increase overall capacity and develop a more sustainable future to benefit young people. As enablers and facilitators, we work alongside members and deliver a wide range of capacity building focused activities.
We are proud members of the YPF Network
Young People’s Foundations bring together the public, private and voluntary sectors to effect positive change for young people. Together we share a common goal – to create and champion a more impactful, co-ordinated and sustainable sector to ensure all children and young people have access to quality support and opportunities. Based in our local communities, each YPF’s services are based on the needs and assets of our area.
WE HAVE SIGNED THE CULTURAL COMPETENCY Pledge
Following the Cultural Competency work facilitated by the Staff College for the Young People’s Foundation and the CEO book club series, it was agreed by CEOs to develop a pledge for all YPFs to sign up to.
“Cultural Competence ensures that practice in the delivery of services to diverse communities meets their needs, recognises the differences in culture that exist and ensures that services are appropriately available and delivered successfully by skilled practitioners, thereby reducing inequalities that may affect particular groups of society."
