YOUTH CHARTER
The Youth Charter works within communities with young people nationally and internationally, in particular those who are disadvantaged and disaffected to encourage personal development through sport, arts, cultural and digital activity. Our aim is to keep young people engaged and thereby keep them away from negative lifestyles, gang related activity, violence and extremism.
