Celebrating the Launch of the New Youth Matters Government Strategy! 🌟
Yesterday, the Government unveiled the Youth Matters Strategy, marking a renewed national commitment to supporting young people — and we couldn’t be more excited.
This strategy recognises what Foreal Youth workers, volunteers and as community organisations have always known:
👉 Youth work is essential.
👉 Early help saves lives.
👉 Safe spaces, trusted adults and positive opportunities change outcomes.
At 6t5 we welcome this strategy with open arms.
It strengthens the message we champion every day — that all young people deserve to be heard, supported and given the chance to thrive.
What the new Youth Matters Strategy highlights:
✨ The value of high-quality youth work
✨ Investment in safe, accessible community spaces
✨ Support for mental health & wellbeing
✨ Opportunities for skills, leadership and future employment
✨ Stronger partnerships between communities, councils and the voluntary sector
This is a big step forward for youth work nationally — and for the young people we serve locally.
We’re proud to be part of a community where Youth Work Matters, yesterday, today and always. 💛
