As a small charity that champions working-class young people, we’re used to boldly supporting our young people to fight for what they need to change the world. But it is getting harder and harder to be part of that fight - harder financially and harder politically.

The ongoing impact of austerity, coupled with the pressure of the cost of living crisis, is having a huge impact on charities and youth organisations, including ours. Too many small charities have closed over the last couple of years; we don’t want to be one of them.

We need more working-class young people changing politics, changing their communities and smashing the class ceiling. To keep doing this, and doing it well, we need your help.
