Youth Focus South East

At Youth Focus South East, we serve as a Regional Youth Work Unit (RYWU) dedicated to enhancing youth work across the South East region. Our mission is to collaborate with commissioners, providers, and young people to ensure that the youth sector is well-informed, skilled, and responsive to the evolving needs of the community. We facilitate networking opportunities and lead multi-organisation partnerships to address the challenges faced by youth workers and the young people they support. Our upcoming events, such as the National Youth Strategy Stakeholder Consultations, provide platforms for youth workers and managers to share insights and advocate for stronger support systems, a skilled workforce, and equitable funding models.

Through our initiatives, we aim to empower youth organisations and enhance the overall quality of youth work in areas including Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey, and West Sussex. By hosting regular meetings and workshops, we foster a collaborative environment where stakeholders can come together to discuss best practices and innovative solutions. Our commitment to supporting the youth sector not only helps to build a more resilient community but also ensures that the voices of young people are heard and prioritized in decision-making processes.

Youth Focus South East known as a Regional Youth Work Unit (RYWU)&nbsp;act as hubs for developing and supporting youth work in their regions, working with commissioners, providers and young people themselves to ensure the sector is well-informed, skilled and responsive to changes in government policies and young people’s needs. They are a core element of infrastructure support for the youth sector in their regions. RYWUs are independent organisations, based in the region they cover, with governance arrangements that reflect the voices of youth organisations in the region. RYWUs collaborate with a wide range of local, regional and national organisations with an interest in supporting and developing youth work. They may lead on multi-organisation partnerships in their areas or might undertake regional roll-out of national programmes in collaboration with national bodies. At the heart of a RYWU is the needs of young people and the youth sector in their regions. Join us for our next Regional Network Meeting, providing a space for Local, Regional and National Updates with the opportunity for networking and learning from other professionals in sector.
