The Croydon Youth Consortium is a group of Croydon’s most enterprising voluntary and community sector providers. This initiative represents a collaborative strategic effort to enable high-quality delivery services accessible to all vulnerable children and young people in Croydon.

In the summer of 2022, the Croydon Youth Consortium (CYC) was brought into being by Croydon Voluntary Action (CVA) and Reedham Children’s Trust. To date, it has 30 members representing charities and voluntary organisations of all sizes across Croydon.

The vision shared by members is that every child and young person in Croydon will receive the support they need to be happy, healthy, and fulfilled, and able to take positive steps towards a successful and responsible adulthood. The consortium will play a key role in providing that support by delivering services for young people and children in community hubs, youth centres, schools, and colleges, and by supporting parents and carers through networks across the borough.

CYC membership is open to VCS youth providers working collaboratively to provide young people in Croydon with high-quality support delivered seamlessly across schools and community settings.
