2 THE NEED Young people aged are, almost three times as likely to be unemployed as all other age groups combined. Disadvantaged young people, i.e. those facing multiple and complex barriers are more often not in education, employment or training compared with other year olds.* We support the young people who need our help the most which means we run our programmes in the areas with the highest youth unemployment rates. Youth unemployment can have a long-term impact on the physical and mental well-being of a young person with higher chances of being welfare-dependent later in life. We value the power of sport to change young peoples lives. We use sport as a hook to engage the most hard-to-reach young people, bringing people together, creating fitter minds and bodies and teaching key skills like discipline, communication and teamwork. *Tackling unemployment among disadvantaged young people - Institute for Employment Studies, March 2016 The UK s leading sport for employment charity England & Wales Charity No Scotland Charity No. SCO 38884
