On 6 April 2026, the UK government announced the opening of the first eight Young Futures Hubs in Birmingham, Brighton and Hove, Bristol, County Durham, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham and Tower Hamlets. The hubs aim to bring mental‑health, employment, crime‑prevention and other services under one roof for young people aged 10‑18 (up to 25 for SEND). They are part of a £70 million investment in 50 hubs, designed to halve knife crime within a decade and to rebuild local youth services after a 73 % drop in funding since 2010. Each hub provides trusted adults, wellbeing support, career guidance and positive activities such as sport, arts and volunteering. The programme is backed by a £4 million Local Youth Transformation Fund and links with police, schools and community organisations.
