The National Youth Work Census helps to shape the future of youth work in England by bringing together the views of providers from across the country. The only comprehensive national survey of its kind, it provides a vital snapshot of the state of youth work in England right now. The census is open to youth clubs, youth workers in schools, hospitals, and other settings; uniformed groups; and any other professionals who support young people using youth work principles.

By completing the Census, you will:  

  • increase your visibility to Government, commissioners and prospective partners who might benefit from your expertise / services.
  • help demonstrate a need for increased provision and help get more funding flowing into your area.
  • help update the interactive digital map of current youth work provision which will be used by policymakers, MPs and other others to understand the picture of youth work provision in your area.
