📢 This Week's Roundup 📢
This , the opportunity is clear: youth unemployment is costing the UK ÂŁ125bn a year, with a million young people out of work and education. Investing in youth volunteering builds skills, confidence and futures, while strengthening the charities our communities depend on. One investment, two challenges solved. đź’ˇ
⚠️ Plans to use AI to assess the age of asylum-seeking children are raising serious safeguarding concerns. 100+ organisations warn AI can't grasp the impact of trauma, conflict and displacement. MCF's position: technology can support decisions, but trained social workers must stay at the centre.
🇸🇩 Three years on, Sudan remains one of the world's most overlooked crises. Millions face hunger and displacement, yet local charities and volunteers keep delivering life-saving aid despite severe funding shortages.

Volunteer numbers are declining. Demand on charities is climbing.

This Volunteers' Week, we're spotlighting an answer that's hiding in plain sight: young people.

Investing in youth volunteering delivers a double dividend:

→ It strengthens charities at a moment of rising need
→ It opens new pathways for young people facing barriers to employment

A modest shift in how the sector resources and welcomes young volunteers could reshape both the charity landscape and youth employment outcomes.

Our latest article makes the full case: 'The Case for Investing in Youth Volunteering'

The Muslim Charities Forum recognises that the collapse of our natural world is not only an environmental issue, but a growing national security risk.
From food security to public health and economic resilience, nature underpins every aspect of our daily lives.

The Nature + National
Security Bill presents a science-led and practical response. By recognising nature as national infrastructure, it ensures it is properly prioritised and protected for the benefit of all communities.

We encourage you to watch this video to understand more about the campaign and why this legislation matters now.

As the Government cuts UK foreign aid by ÂŁ6 billion per year, the impacts on vulnerable populations globally, from Yemen to Afghanistan, will be huge. Rather than stepping back from its international commitments at a time of unprecedented global need, the UK should be stepping up to support those most in need. Otherwise, global inequalities and insecurity will continue to grow.

For Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to shine a light on a charity providing young Muslims with a safe and supportive place to turn during times of crisis. Muslim Youth Helpline offers vital support, guidance, and a listening ear to those who need it most.
