FAQs

Running a successful youth group providing enjoyable and challenging activities for children and young people is likely to require guidance and training. Unless you have lots of experience, the amount of activity and organisation planning, volunteer recruitment, DBS checks, appropriate insurance cover, and safeguarding to mention a few, can become overwhelming.

The advice and training we offer will help you grow and develop your youth group with a safe and structured environment for children, young people and your volunteer/staff team.

We can provide information, hands on advice, and guidance for new and established youth groups. Included in your membership is direct access to a designated Action4Youth contact who can advise and give guidance on policy, governance, recruitment, planning, and training, and give access to invaluable information like policy models and funding opportunities.

Action4Youth membership for youth groups is £110 +VAT per year. Invoices are issued in April each year.

Your membership fee is inclusive of 10 DBS checks. We charge just £10 for additional checks.

Please contact us on membership@action4youth.org to start the checks for applicants.

We have designed training with youth organisations in mind. The sessions are interactive, promote conversations through scenarios and are suitable for new volunteers to those who have been working in the sector a long time. 

We can shape sessions such as safeguarding and work alongside your DSL/lead on safeguarding to ensure they fit your needs.

All details are on the training pages. Please contact sarah.simmons@action4youth.org for more information.
