We bring people together
We help to build strong bonds between third sector organisations and the public sector through our partnerships with Surrey County Council, Districts and Boroughs, Health Services and the Police, so that we can all serve our communities better. We believe collaboration is the key to moving forward.
We represent the third sector
As an independent body, we advocate for charities, volunteer groups and other youth-focused organisations across various boards and bring issues to the attention of key decision makers. We’re considered the eyes and ears of Surrey’s voluntary youth sector thanks to our extensive network.

We influence positive change
For over two decades we’ve worked tirelessly to understand the needs of Surrey’s young people and have successfully innovated, influenced and collaborated on dozens of projects. We are trusted and experienced advisors who can bring fresh perspectives to cross-sector issues and work with you to create meaningful change.
We’re passionate about young people
The experience of children and young people is at the heart of everything we do, and we celebrate the contribution that they bring to our society. Our work is rooted in changing processes and systems to ensure that every child has the opportunity to flourish and reach their potential.
