About us

Here for Sheffield’s Young People, and the organisations and services that work with them

We are a charity supporting young people to feel well, have a voice and get into the training, education or work that’s right for them.

In 2024 we are focused on becoming a shared asset for young people and the youth space in Sheffield and the surrounding region. We have committed to becoming more accountable and open at a constitutional level, and fully youth-led and governed.

Our values and ways of working

OPENNESS | HONESTY | GENEROSITY | HUMBLENESS | DETERMINATION | ACCOUNTABILITY | FEARLESSNESS

  • Putting young people first and being truly young people led will always have the best outcomes.
  • Be evidence driven and we will always be heading in the right direction  
  • Good things will happen when all our team have a clear sense of the value they are trying to create, and have no unnecessary barriers to achieving this.
  • We need to do, learn, and iterate quickly to be effective at tackling complex problems in a rapidly changing world  
  • Always try to understand the difference we make in context, taking into account the work of other organisations and key indicators of disadvantage and inequity for young people.
