Our Impact
Youth Ink gives those suffering from disadvantage a platform to use their voice and create opportunities for themselves and others to become active members of society.
We enable young people caught up in the cycle of crime, addiction, mental health or care, to improve the services they receive. In turn, improving their life chances benefits them and their family, friends, neighbours, and the local community.
“I didn’t know I had the experience to work with police, the Youth Justice Board and Youth Offending Services... I didn’t know that my lived experience was valuable.”
“When I was asked to join Youth Ink I didn’t know anything about it apart from it was led by young people like me from my community and the person who created Youth Ink was an ex-offender, the same as me, that’s what drew me to Youth Ink. I learned that by being part of Youth Ink I was able to get my voice heard and help other people in my community, like my brothers.”
“This has done so much for me and has given me a way out which I am grateful for”
