Changing the odds in favour of young people. A young people's charity in the South West of England. Every week, we help hundreds of local young people in need.

Young Devon is a young people's charity in the South West of England. We have been supporting young people since 1949; making Devon a better place for all young people, by reducing disadvantage and improving opportunity. Young Devon helps young people get support with their mental health and wellbeing, build life skills, get their voice heard, grow in confidence, find safe accommodation and develop into happy, independent adults. Young people can access Young Devon services in Exeter, Plymouth, Newton Abbot, Barnstaple, Ivybridge, Tavistock, Okehampton and Ilfracombe as well as via outreach workers in the more rurally isolated communities. Young Devon; putting young people at the heart of Devon.

Our Barnstaple YES team and some of our young people recently enjoyed a visit to North Devon Hospice Warehouse, where they learned more about fast fashion and the impact it has on our environment. 👔

A big thank you to Nigel for being a fantastic tour guide, Emma Hewlett the Project Officer for CAG Devon’s Together for Tomorrow project, and Libby Bowles from Earth Action North Devon for helping to make the visit possible!
