Introducing the Young Foundation
The Young Foundation brings together insights, innovation and entrepreneurship to meet social needs. We have a track record of over 50 years success with ventures such as the Open University, Which?, the School for Social Entrepreneurs and Healthline (the precursor of NHS Direct).
Our work covers fields including health, ageing, education, community, housing, justice, youth leadership, creative uses of the web and wellbeing.
We address issues through research, collaboratives, creating new ventures, and advising national and local governments and other public agencies. We work both in the UK and internationally.
