We need your help!

Solent Youth Action (SYA) has grown from supporting 300 young people a year to over 1,000. Not because we received huge new funding… but because the number of young people who desperately need us has exploded. Every day our inbox fills with referrals from schools, families and services asking for help for a young person who’s struggling.

But here’s the truth: it takes real money to give real support, and right now we’re being stretched to our limit.

So our Senior Youth Worker, Cam, sat down with our young people to write something powerful; a song about what they’re facing, why SYA matters, and how it feels to finally have someone in their corner. They even made a full music video (with a cheeky nod to iconic 90s and 00s classics!) to help tell their story.

We’re aiming to raise £20,000 by March 2026 so we can keep saying “yes” to the young people who need us most.

Will you help us get there?

Every donation, every share, every person who hears their song brings us one step closer.

Please enjoy their music video, spread the word, and stand with us.

We are SYA and we need £20k to keep changing lives. Thank you!!

LYRICS:

SYA don't wanna turn families away.

The services we are providing-turns out they're heavily subsiding

Like in your welly boots building fires at the Routes

Or at our youth clubs making friends- but we need the funds so the fun never ends

We're an advocacy for those who cant be heard

But the price of things is becoming more absurd

We work with those with disa

bilities-some cant be seen and some can

And if you have mental health worries

Its's important to know we understand

Because life can be difficult sometimes

Let's build to the chorus from his line

Young vulnerable people we can be your shield

While making connections and learning essential skills

If you can give anything give this way to our Just giving page
