UK Youth | The impact of COVID-19 on young people & the youth sector
We know that the pandemic is having a big impact on young people and those that support them. Our
report highlights that whilst every effort is already being made to continue vital support services by
moving them online, for some young people there are huge barriers to digital engagement. Youth
organisations have been quick to adapt their services and have been at the forefront of supporting the
wider emergency response, often redeploying their staff to distribute emergency care packages,
support emergency services and transform their buildings into foodbanks. This report also shows an
urgent need for emergency funding to be able to keep the doors open of their services in the long
term.
We need to keep the youth sector connected, engaged and mobilised in order to support young
people now and after the crisis. We must act now to ensure that the voice of young people and those
that support them does not get forgotten during this crisis, and that the most vulnerable young people
get the urgent support that they need now and in the future.
