The Youth Connect Project is a new, two-year funded project by Comic Relief with the aim to create a holistic, locally grounded approach that embeds early action to prevent crisis and inspires empowered and emboldened young people. This stems from the critical and growing need for the delivery of trusted advice within local communities across England.
The project has multiple areas of focus including the provision of specialist advice on asylum and welfare, and the delivery of life skills sessions tailored to the needs of young people. In addition to this advice provision, the community development work aims to create a network of agencies—bringing them together to learn and share best practice—and seeks to improve the services offered to separated children across the country.
