Supporting young people to achieve their full potential

Young Leicestershire is the biggest provider of open-access clubs for young people in Leicester and Leicestershire with over 15,000 members now attending our network of affiliated groups.

We’re passionate about providing young people with the widest possible range of positive activities – which we achieve through leading and supporting voluntary-sector services.

We support and help raise funds for everything from sports clubs and young carers’ groups to international conventions and new youth centres.

With 60 years’ experience behind us, and professional expertise that’s recognised as unmatched in our field, Young Leicestershire is run entirely as a charitable institution.
