We wanted to create a website that is an invaluable tool for members to utilise. So, we asked you, our members, what a site designed to meet your needs should look like.
You told us that you wanted...
-
opportunities to network with fellow services so you feel that part of something bigger
-
spaces for you and your work to be showcased
-
good practice and learning to be shared
-
a clearer and better understanding of the Youth Access membership
So, we...
-
produced an online forum space for full members to network
-
added member profiles to our homepage to showcase your work
-
have given full members more autonomy to update Service Directory listings
-
created a dedicated members-only area teeming with tools and resources
-
added a membership benefits section with what you can expect from us
We could spend hours excitedly sharing all of the new and improved features on our site, but the best way to discover them is to have an explore!
Be sure to check out the new and improved:
Service Directory (Find help) and check your listing!
Members Area accessible to full members only

We're overjoyed to finally be able to offer an updated, functional, modern and lively new home for the Youth Access community to use and enjoy! The new website is a key part of our mission to amplify our support for members and improve the experiences of young people. Thanks to consultations with members and young people, we now have a site we hope will be able to do just that!
