Young Hammersmith And Fulham

Young Hammersmith & Fulham (Young H&F) is a charity working to support voluntary youth organisations to thrive and deliver the best support for young people.

We believe every young person deserves the chance to thrive, and that starts with a strong, well-supported youth sector. So that’s our goal - to strengthen the youth sector in Hammersmith & Fulham by supporting the charities, organisations, and professionals who work directly with young people. 

We do this by: 
- Providing free expert-led training to help organisations grow and sustain their impact. Previous trainings have included Deaf Awareness Training led by David Buxton, CEO of Action on Disability and Trauma-Informed Practice Training led by consultant Kati Taunt. 

- Facilitating spaces for discussion, networking & collaboration 
In addition to providing high-quality training, Young H&F also creates space for community members to share insights, connect and collaborate through various events, networks and forums.  
 
- Giving our community access to vital funding. In 2024 Young H&F we gave £25,000 to seven supplementary schools across Hammersmith & Fulham, supporting educational initiatives for students from underrepresented minority communities, including Somali, Arabic, and Polish backgrounds. We also provided £50,000 in small grants to small and medium sized non-profit youth organisations, helping them sustain and grow their work with young people.

<h1>Trauma-Informed Practice: Part 2</h1> Led by registered social worker and accredited cognitive behavioural therapist Kati Taunt, this is part 2 of a trauma-informed practice training. This session will go deeper into how to use trauma-informed approaches in your everyday work. The training is aimed at anyone working with children, young people and their families and will explore the impact of a wide range of adversity and traumatic experiences for the developing child. We’re so happy to be able to offer free training to our community members, but when people drop out last minute, it means we still have to cover the costs and someone else misses out on a valuable opportunity. To help with this, we ask for a small&nbsp;refundable&nbsp;deposit for trainings - just to make sure everyone who wants a place can get one!
