The Get Moving Festival has once again chosen Youth In Transition as its charity partner, and we’d love some volunteers to help us make the most of this opportunity!

At the heart of what we do, as always, are our young people; and we celebrate their wins both big and small, standing by their sides.

Saturday 6th July 2019 was a day to remember for the Youth in Transition community. It was the day The Hope Shop came to life, with its very special opening event in Manly village. The project was the vision of a small group of passionate Youth in Transition supporters, with the specific goal of raising money for the charity.

We are thrilled to share the good news that Youth In Transition has been successful in the latest funding round from Pub Charity Limited. Their substantial grant is a significant and much-needed boost to our limited financial resources.
