About us

We want all young people to live in communities where they are heard, are safe and supported; with opportunities to thrive. We aim to support young people to thrive through highly effective and accessible programmes where:

• Young people’s voices are heard and empowered.
• Young people are supported by consistent adults through times of challenge and change.
• Young people have opportunities and resources to be happy and thrive.

The Young Lives Foundation is an award winning children's charity in Kent. Our staff and volunteers have expertise in providing tailored advocacy, mentoring, befriending and youth group programmes to eligible young people. Our target is to raise over £600,000 a year to enable us to continue meeting the demand for our services which are accessed by over 3,000 people every year.

Please support us to help make a difference and secure more positive outcomes in the lives of young and vulnerable people in our local community.
