Support us How your business can help How your business can help transform the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable young people You have the power to make an extraordinary impact. Supporting young people to achieve their potential, you can contribute to a better future for our communities. How would you feel if you knew you had all the talent for that dream opportunity, but you didn’t have the right background, didn’t go to that school, didn’t get those marks? You went to college, not university. Your parents don’t know the right people, you don’t have enough money to afford endless internships. You don’t belong in your own dream. Creative Youth Network works to change that for young people who have all the skill, energy and ambition, but don’t have the right backgrounds, connections and other advantages, the best homelife, freedom from bullying. Your business success can make a huge difference to the lives of these disadvantaged young people living right now on the margins in Bristol and South Gloucestershire. We work with businesses of all sizes and multiple sectors to build long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships.
