Youth Shedz

Youth Shedz aims to develop a community to reach the most disconnected young people by providing safe spaces for young people aged 13 to 25 to explore their identity and develop pro-social relationships, alongside positive role models. Each Youth Shed is co-produced by participants who are supported and facilitated to test ideas and concepts which help them to build healthier, fulfilling lives.

Separate measures from the charity's own returns and accounts, each with its year. Read them together: no single measure says how well a charity is run.

Government grants in the year ending 30 September 2025: £10,000 from 1 grant. Government contracts: Not reported.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 6 grants to this charity since 2020, worth at least £291,200.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.
