British Youth Council and UK Youth Parliament

Homepage

The British Youth Council (BYC) is a national, youth led charity that inspires young people aged 11-25 to have a say and be heard. Since its ascent in 1948, our vision is for a world where young people are respected an able to influence and inform decisions that affect their lives.

We provide direct training, campaigning and volunteering opportunities to young people enabling them to interact with decision makers and participate in their communities; and offer support, advice and resources to a network of over 230 member organizations and local youth councils across the country.

Young people lead on every aspect of our work: our board of trustees are all aged 16-25, elected annually by other young people from across the UK.

We work with 10,000 young people each year and focus our energy on engaging young people from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds.

Your invaluable support will help us raise£45,000 to provide avenues and platforms for young people to gain skills, build confidence and explore opportunities to make a difference in our world.

Formed in 2000, UK Youth Parliament (UKYP) is a national youth organization that works with young people aged between 11-18 to campaign on issues that affect their lives. The organization consists of democratically elected members and has around 600 members, who are elected to represent the views of young people in their area to government and service providers. Over 500,000 young people vote in the elections each year, which are held in at least 90% of constituencies. UKYP is now being managed by BYC.
