Youth Unity CIC is a “not for profit” organisation established to provide effective help and support to vulnerable young people and adults affected by group violence (gangs), drugs and other forms of exploitation such as human trafficking, CSE and extremism. We work in collaboration with statutory organisations, commissioned services and charities to provide a more cohesive approach to solutions. We focus on improving opportunities for all, especially young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our overall belief is that by helping to improve the overall health and well-being of an individual they can make better informed choices and decisions.We offer mentoring, workshops and training for young people, professionals, parents and carers.

Our core belief revolves around ensuring that every young person is treated fairly and as a unique individual, regardless of factors such as age, gender, race, religion, ability, or background.As an organisation, our primary objective is to facilitate the thriving and realisation of the full potential of young individuals, ensuring they are thoroughly prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in their adult lives.Through collaborative endeavours with diverse stakeholders, Youth Unity CIC strives to diminish vulnerability and safeguard local communities, in line with the Government's strategy.

Today, our Youth Unity CIC Junior reporters took to the streets of Dartford to engage with the local residents and gain insights into their needs and concerns that impact the community. It was truly a captivating and fulfilling day as they actively listened to the voices of the community and provided a platform for their thoughts and opinions to be heard.This was a significant milestone for my son ! as it marked his first outing as a Junior reporter for Youth Unity.
It’s heartening to witness young individuals like him taking on roles that empower them to contribute to the betterment of their community whilst developing confidence and communication skills. @paulmcken88 @dartfordliving @dartfordyouthcouncil @dartford.together @dartfordmayor
Groomsafe and CCE Workshops delivery in the London Borough of Bexley.It’s unfortunate that these dangers exist in our communities, but by learning about them, we can empower young people to recognise the warning signs and take action to stay safe.Education is the key to preventing criminal exploitation & grooming. By understanding the tactics used by exploiters and groomers, we can identify and avoid potentially dangerous situations. Together, we can create a safer environment, safer places for ourselves and our communities.The importance of staying informed, trusting your instincts, and seeking help and solutions when needed, we can protect young people and help others do the same. @paulmcken88 @simeonddba @lbofbexley

I'm a youth worker from North West London. I was looking to hire a mobile recording studio to come down to our youth centre for a project. Someone recommended Youth Unity who manage the Unity Hub, so I got in touch with their founder and managing director Shirley. From the first phone call I knew I'd found the right project partner. We worked together for six sessions to deliver some brilliant music and podcasting projects with young people from our centre. Shirley, Paul and the team came down every week with energy, enthusiasm and creativity. They really inspired our young people and created lasting memories, and together we smashed the outcomes for our initial project. We cant wait to work with them again soon!

Working with Youth Unity has been a fun and exciting experience for us as a developer. The youth engagement programme we ran in partnership with them, ‘Point of View’, is a best practice case study of how community organisations can work with developers to create opportunities that generate social value outcomes for young people. Youth Unity were an exceptional partner to work with in their organisation of the project, compassion, and passion for the young people, and understanding of our remit and social value agenda as a developer. The project also spanned across engagement with our supply chain, and Youth Unity were able to adapt to understand and meet the requirements of each of our supply chain partners, from health and safety matters through to privacy and data obligations. Thank you to the Youth Unity team for making this project so unique, fun, and impactful. - Dominvs Group

I loved working with Youth Unity because it gave my son a lot of opportunities for him and opened a lot of doors for him. It made him change perspectives of the world and what changes should be made to it. I hope more things like this would come to the future and i loved to see my son enrolled in such a loving and caring community. I would recommend joining this project. Youth Unity is like a loving and caring family.

Our Son Ruben was involved with the POV project. He enjoyed the filming in London, and the trip to Cornwall so much.. he almost came home a bit more 'grown up'. We are so proud of his achievements. Hats off to Shirley, Paul and all the team. Eternally grateful for the love and ongoing support you give to our young people ❤️

I've had the pleasure of working with Youth Unity over the past few years. They are an organisation that is doing wonderful things for the youth in London communities. Providing opportunities, vision, direction, belief and self esteem for the next generation which is all so important but sometimes overlooked in this day and age. Keep raising the bar👍🏽
