Greater Manchester Youth Network (GMYN)

Greater Manchester Youth Network (GMYN) is a charity working with some of the most disadvantaged young people in the region. This includes children in care, young carers, disabled young people, homeless young people and many others who face significant barriers. These young people are often socially excluded, lacking in confidence and aspiration or have little support from elsewhere. Through GMYN’s projects and support, young people are able to make positive progression in their lives. We provide activities such as training, volunteering and social enterprise which help these vulnerable young people to broaden their horizons, gain confidence, become active members of their community and have a real sense of achievement. GMYN also acts as a valuable information and support service, putting vulnerable young people in touch with appropriate agencies. Without GMYN’s intervention and personalised assistance, many young people would miss out on the urgent support that they vitally need.
