What is YOU?
A network of organisations and groups providing spaces for young people in Salisbury and surrounding areas.
Our mission is to say, through our collective actions, that Salisbury cares about its young people and they are welcome here.
The YOU of our network is the Young People of Salisbury and we seek to place their voices at the heart of all our work.
This network has grown from the work of the Salisbury Youth Provision Forum, a group of youth organisations, local authorities, service providers and schools working together to find practical solutions to the issues we see.
What are we doing?
We are creating this network under a set of shared values and standards to inform and support the space or activity that you provide for young people.
Being part of the network will mean a commitment to working together to increase and improve the number of inclusive and welcoming spaces for young people in Salisbury.
All network members will encourage and support other groups, organisations and individuals to provide these safe spaces and work together to improve them. We will raise awareness of this work across the Salisbury area.
Free membership is open to
- Youth Clubs and informal supervised spaces (drop-in or membership based) - run by organisations and/or volunteers.
- Public Places - Detached youth work projects, pop up youth areas at community events or one off youth events.
- Activity Providers - Clubs, groups, teams and course providers, typically 'paid for' though criteria about accessibility apply.
For providers from areas immediately surrounding Salisbury, please do get in touch, we will contact your Parish Council about joining the network. The network estends its age range to 25 for young people/young adults with special educational needs and disabilities.
