UYA, in partnership with #iWill movement, aim to bring together young people, businesses, education and youth organisations to work towards supporting young people’s voices and social action.
We work alongside three distinct youth led coastal social action teams. UYA are driving forward a Fylde Coast Call to Action, to come together by signing the Power of Youth Charter, to demonstrate our commitment to Be that Person, which every young person deserves and to have a Call to Action to be the change we want to see here on The Fylde Coast and create the First Coastal Social Action area.
We don’t follow a strict blueprint for this work. Instead, we listen to young people, are guided by our values and principles, and strive to clear the space for them to influence the change so desperately needed in communities and wider society. It is truly inspiring to walk this path alongside so many young leaders across Blackpool and the Fylde, supported by dedicated stakeholders in their community.
UYA Coastal Social Action Groups, work in partnership with our friends at #iWill movement as well as a collective of organisations, schools and colleges from across the area.
The young people who lead on the projects have access to the #iwWll Ambassadors programme of which many are now representatives.
If you or your organisation want to know more information about any of our social action programmes get in touch with us at: socialaction@uyacic.org
