Action4Youth tackle gang and knife crime in Milton Keynes

MyMiltonKeynes is delighted to announce a new partnership with Action4Youth, supporting children and young people by funding new programmes and learning opportunities in 2022 and beyond.

Action4Youth, based in Milton Keynes, is a dedicated charity focused on driving forward the crucial youth agenda to transform lives for the better. The funding will support the full range of opportunities available to young people including the Breakout Programme, which will offer a unique intervention experience for those particularly vulnerable or at risk of involvement in gangs, by educating them on the dangers this can bring. The Inspiration Programme will also equip them with the skills they need to become successful and happy, reigniting their motivation and belief in themselves.

With the support of MyMiltonKeynes, the charity aim to provide the city’s young people with the necessary skills to grow into productive members of society.

A spokesperson for Action4Youth said, “Thank you MyMiltonKeynes for the ongoing support that allows us to make these programmes possible. The Breakout and Inspiration Programmes encourage engagement and achievement in young people who are facing challenges which can lead them down a dangerous path. With the ongoing help and funding from MyMiltonKeynes, we’re able to focus on making Milton Keynes a safe place for our youth to live and work.”
