What is Trust Youth?

Trust Youth (TY) is a charity providing opportunity for practical citizenship and awareness of the voluntary sector in schools.

We help students to set up ‘mini-charities’ in schools which raise funds and awareness for a national charity (this year it is the British Red Cross).

We provide materials and support for our partner schools, put on training events for pupils and celebration events where the young people can win national awards. We are currently working with 20 schools in four regions throughout the UK. Schools taking part last year raised a combined total of £2,500.
