We've teamed up with actor and writer Ben Bailey Smith to launch a new film* highlighting the damaging impact of cuts to youth services in the face of the cost of living crisis – with young people’s futures at risk.
The film features Bailey-Smith, who is a former youth worker himself, playing pool at a youth centre as he reflects on the vital support youth services provide and the potentially devastating consequences for young people if they are allowed to disappear.
The film is part of our wider campaign alongside Pears Foundation to secure more funding for youth services and ensure that every young people has access to the support they need, visit www.ukyouth.org/costofliving to find out more.
