Youth Volunteering - How to Get Your Programme Ready
Created: 12/11/2026News/Events Category: Volunteering
Young people were one of the few topics every party wanted to talk about this conference season. In its round-up of the 2026 party conferences, NCVO said young people’s opportunities came up across the political spectrum, alongside growing concern about the number who are not in education, employment or training (NEET).
A few days later, NCVO’s analysis of Budget 2026 noted that the final report of the Milburn Review into young people and work is due next month, with a government response and a White Paper expected in early 2027.
This matters for volunteer managers. NCVO pointed out that volunteering can give young people practical experience, transferable skills and relationships. For those who have struggled at school or work, it can offer a sense of purpose and a supportive place to rebuild motivation. If government starts looking for organisations that can offer that, programmes already set up well for young people will be first in line.
Here is how to get ready now, before the policy detail lands.
