What is the Belong Collective?
The Belong Collective brings together young people, youth organisations and other organisations working with young people to share resources, learning, challenges and good practices in supporting young people to overcome feelings of loneliness or isolation. It is led by UK Youth and Youth Focus North East who work on bringing together these different groups so we can create lasting change for young people in the future.
