Our members took to twitter to react to the findings and make sure #YouthWorkChangesLives was trending - and to remind government that that the value of youth work is worth remembering come Budget 2021.
But the young people, Mercy and Caillum, were the real stars of the show, bringing the research to life by sharing their experience of youth work during Covid-19 restrictions.
If you missed out, or you'd like to watch it again you can access the launch recording here >>
If you have any questions, let me know.
And please make sure to share this timely report widely among your colleagues across the sector.
Kind regards,
