Cumberland Youth Provision Mapping
Cumbria Youth Alliance, in partnership with Cumberland Council, is mapping out what's working—and what needs to change—for young people aged 11–25. 
We need YOU to take part in this important mission. Whether you're a young person, a parent, a youth worker, a teacher or part of the wider community, your voice can drive real change.
Cumbria Youth Alliance supports youth organisations throughout the county, aiming to build the third sector’s capacity through high-quality training, support, and funding.

We also provide a collaborative long-term network and partnerships to work together better. When gaps in provision are identified, or we want to introduce a new high-quality offer, we quality assure, challenge, and set high delivery standards.

We support young people through targeted direct delivery with a strategic purpose to achieve a sustainable and positive future and remain current through authentic connections with young people.

 During subsequent conversations with lead workers and CEO. I came to understand just how successful this programme was with 40 of 42 participants recording a positive outcome in relation to employment, further education and/or training - a truly extraordinary ‘hit rate’ given the background and learning difficulties of many participants. I have no hesitation in commending this programme, and organisation.
