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.

A message from Leicestershire Police.

Hi All,
The survey link below has been created by the Youth Offending team with input from County YOS to capture the voice and honest opinions of young people around knife crime. We are not asking for personal details therefore no contact can be or will be made to the individuals that complete it. We of course want to get as many young people as possible to complete this across LLR to give us a true indication of their opinions.

Please share with any other contacts you feel can help us share far and wide.
Thank you for your support, see survey Link below
