About YPFs
What is a Young People’s Foundation?
A Young People’s Foundation (YPF) is a member-led charity comprised of organisations that work with children and young people in a local area including the public, private and voluntary sectors.
Each YPF adapts to meet the needs of the Children & Young People (CYP) sector in their local area, however they all share the same common values.

CROSS-SECTOR
YPFs bring the voluntary, public and private sectors together to address the needs of children and young people
-
GRASSROOTS
YPFs work for, and with, small local organisations and maintain a local focus
-
NON-DELIVERY
YPFs do not directly deliver services, but contract services via their membership
-
LONG-TERM
YPFs are designed for the long term; they are a constant.
What does a YPF do?
1 Funding
YPFs make the local CYP voluntary sector a more viable prospect for external stakeholders to support.
They facilitate consortiums that fundraise collectively to:
Attract funding from new sources into the local area
Secure new contracts and grants from local/ central government
Attract corporate and individual funding opportunities
Raise funds from trusts and foundations to benefit their membership
Secure funding that can become a local Small Grants programme.
2 Networks
YPFs build trust and broker relationships between organisations from different sectors to enhance the CYP provision in their local area:
Organise sector (and location) specific capacity building, including training events, advice sessions and forums for organisations to share ideas, challenges and best practice
Coordinate CYP sector specific networking opportunities and support services
Work with statutory partners to develop initiatives that can be supported by the voluntary sector
3 Space
YPFs maximise spaces available for local groups to use for activities for children and young people:
Share venue and delivery spaces within their network
Maintain the YPF Venue Bank of affordable and available spaces for member organisations
Quality check available venues and the organisations seeking to hire spaces
4 Access
YPFs compile information about services in their local area and communicate it to relevant stakeholders:
Provide a single point of access for local young people and parents to understand what is available locally
Give their members access to a range of tailored support services including training, systems support and strengthening communications opportunities
Create access for external stakeholders such as funders, corporate organisations and MPs to information about local CYP organisations, services, structures and networks
