Volunteers play a vital role at 4YP, helping us support young people across our communities every week. We’ve asked some of our volunteers and young leaders to share their thoughts on volunteering and what being part of 4YP means to them.

☀️ We made the most of the summer half term with plenty of outdoor fun and creativity! Young people enjoyed a game of rounders in the park, created sun-inspired crafts, and took part in art in nature activities, using the world around them as inspiration. A brilliant few days of being active, getting creative and spending time together over the break.

I'm delighted to be opening applications to my 2026 Summer School.

This is for young people aged 18-24. Based in Ipswich, you will learn more about politics, public service and community over two weeks in August.

You will visit parliament, meet local organisations and see what it’s like to run your own campaign.

Some of the team enjoyed a visit to the Morning Star Trust boat currently moored in Ipswich. Was great hearing and seeing about the great work they do with young people and adults, building confidence and developing skills.😊

📸 This week we got creative making paper flowers and spent some time playing board games together, with plenty of chatting and time to relax in between.
