The National Youth Agency (NYA) is asking parish and town councils for support by providing details for youth clubs in their area.
The National Youth Sector Census helps to shape the future of youth work in England by bringing together the views of providers from across the country. Funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Census is the only comprehensive national survey of its kind and it provides a vital snapshot of the state of youth work in England right now. It acts as a powerful tool in arguing the case for more investment in youth services and can help shape both local and national funding decisions.
With the development of a National Youth Strategy and related programmes, such as Young Future Hubs, it’s vital the NYA can provide robust data and insights on the sector to inform these plans. As part of the Government’s Safer Streets Mission, NYA is also working in partnership with the Home Office this year to support the scoping of youth provision as part of Young Futures Prevention Partnerships - completing the Census will help to support delivery of this programme.
The Census does not have a closing date but completion by 30 April 2025 would be appreciated so NYA can include the results in its annual snapshot data.
The National Youth Sector Census will only takes a few minutes and no in-depth information is needed—just basic contact details.
