Youth Scotland Impact Report 2024-25
A year that both tested and highlighted the resilience and creativity of Scotland’s community-based youth work sector.

Youth Scotland has a fantastic way of teaching but also gives the opportunity to learn from others. See having that conversation with people from other groups you learn so much from each other – it’s not just young people who peer-learn! As I said, they have been a fantastic support to our organisation and I love them!

This year has tested the resilience and creativity of Scotland’s community-based youth work sector. Rising costs, funding uncertainty and growing demand have challenged local groups, yet they continue to provide safe, supportive spaces where young people can thrive.
Youth Scotland has focused on giving our members the tools, resources and advocacy they need. Our report Acting on Funding offered a clear picture of the financial pressures facing groups, while Acting on Youth Participation highlighted young people’s drive to be heard, to lead and to shape the work that matters to them.
