Young Manchester is a youth-led partnership of over 160 local non-profit organisations and groups supporting 15,000 children and young people in Manchester every week.
Manchester is the third fastest growing economy in the UK, yet over 40% of children in Manchester are currently living in poverty.
We work together with our partners to strengthen, connect and champion opportunities for children and young people (aged 0-25), ensuring these reach the most excluded children and young people in our city.
We're building a Manchester where every child and young person can shape their city and reach their full potential through vibrant, connected and inclusive opportunities.
What's happening at Young Manchester?
Funding w/Youth
We’re excited to share the launch of Funding w/Youth: a new offer from Young Manchester that’s been years in the making, grounded in lived experience, and shaped in collaboration with young people.
Involving Young People in Fund Design
For too long, decisions about children and young people’s lives have been made without their input. Young Manchester is working to change that.
