UK Youth are delighted to announce a new partnership with Primark, with the retailer pledging £175,000 to support youth organisations across the country.

The funding will be used to offer small grants to local youth organisations and is part of the retailer’s celebrations of 50 years on the Great British high street this year, after opening of its doors to the first Primark store in Derby, England, in 1974.

UK Youth will now be working with youth organisations to distribute the funding up and down the country.
