Helping young people

Youthscape supports young people facing big issues that have a negative effect on their lives – affecting their education, their emotional wellbeing and their motivation for making the best of their future. Their work concentrates on where the biggest difference can be made to these outcomes – mental health, social and educational disengagement. The Connolly Foundation has donated £175,000 to be paid over three years towards the running of Youthscape in Luton.

Youthscape’s CEO, Chris Curtis said: “Every student across Bedfordshire should have access to advice and support for their mental wellbeing. The Connolly Foundation stepped in at a critical time when we need to be supporting the young people of Bedfordshire in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic”.
