The Centre for Young Lives has published a report exploring how the UK government can keep vulnerable teenagers safe through the Young Futures Hubs programme. The Hubs, launching later in 2025, aim to bring together community-focused services and provide support to young people at risk of involvement in violence. The report sets out a framework for the effective delivery of the Hubs which will act as a central point for young people to access opportunities and support. The report outlines core components of the Young Futures Hubs; areas of priority for the launch of the first Hubs; and key outcomes and outcome measures. Recommendations include that resources should be directed first to communities facing the greatest challenges, primarily where there are high rates of disadvantage, knife crime and mental health need.
