BYC partners and supporters

As a charity, BYC relies heavily on the organisations and individuals who support our work, whether financially, by giving their time, energy and expertise to working with young people, or by being advocates and ambassadors for BYC and young people.

If you think you may be able to help us in some way, please contact James Cathcart, Chief Executive, by email  or on 0207 332 2641. We are always keen to explore new possibilities and partnerships and to make sure that our work is shared as widely as possible.

All Party Parliamentary Group on Youth Affairs

BYC coordinates the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Youth Affairs, with NCVYS and YMCA England, which allows parliamentarians to meet about issues affecting young people.

The APPG on Youth Affairs is a group of MPs and Peers in Parliament who share an interest in the issues that affect young people. They meet several times throughout the year, often inviting a Minister to join them. The group currently has around 70 members, from both Houses of Parliament.

Stewart Jackson MP (Con), Stella Creasy MP (Lab) and Simon Hughes MP (LD) co-chair the APPG. Other officers of the group are Vice Chair Peter Bottomley MP (Con), Treasurer Lisa Nandy MP (Lab) and Secretary James Morris MP (Con).
