Support a charity that's all about young people
Aged 16 to 25 and want to jump out of a plane or run a marathon? Or maybe you'd like to donate some spare time or pennies? There are loads of ways you can help YouthNet, the charity behind TheSite.org, Do-it and Lifetracks.com.
How YouthNet helps
YouthNet supports 16 to 25-year-olds across the UK through three key services:
- TheSite.org, which aims to be the first place all young adults turn to when they need support and guidance through life
- do-it.org.uk, the UK's leading volunteering website which makes finding voluntary work and giving time to local communities quick and easy
- Lifetracks.com, which helps young people make decisions about their work, training and study options.
Through this work YouthNet is able to give hundreds of thousands of young people the information and support they need to make decisions and live their lives with confidence. But we can't do it on our own, we rely on our supporters to keep us going.
It costs over £6m a year to run YouthNet's services. That means we need your help to keep doing what we do!
