How we support young people
Since the KFC Youth Foundation was established in 2015, we have donated and awarded more than £10 million to support young people across the UK.
Today, our work goes beyond funding. Through our Community Grants Programme, Youth Hubs and Hatch employability programme, we create opportunities for young people to feel safe and supported, build skills and confidence, and take positive steps towards their future.
Community Grants
Since 2020, we have awarded 724 grants worth more than £2.1 million to grassroots youth organisations across the UK & Ireland. We focus our funding on organisations supporting young people in communities experiencing high levels of deprivation, helping provide safe spaces, opportunities to build life skills and positive activities.
Youth Hubs
Our Youth Hub in Middlesbrough provides a safe and welcoming space where young people can spend time, build relationships, try new things and access support from trusted youth workers.
Hatch
Through Hatch, we work in partnership with KFC to help young people build skills and confidence and gain experiences that support them to take steps towards employment and their future.
Together, these programmes enable us to support young people directly and through the grassroots organisations rooted in their communities.
