We recently had the opportunity to speak with Dame Rachel de Souza, Children's Commissioner for England at WEST Youth Zone, where she shared her thoughts on the Youth Zone and which activities she’d enjoy doing if she were a member. As a champion of giving all children a voice, it's great to hear Dame Rachel speak about the difference youth centres, like OnSide Youth Zones, make in young lives, and how we need more safe and inspiring spaces across the country 💚 #youthworkworks

About us
We’re OnSide, a national youth charity that believes all young people should have the opportunity to discover their passion and their purpose. We raise the funds to build state-of-the-art, multimillion-pound youth centres (called Youth Zones) in the country’s most economically disadvantaged areas. We train the amazing people that run them. More than 55,000 members make around 600,000 visits to Youth Zones every year. We offer continuing support to the national OnSide Network where they can learn and grow, share their stories and celebrate their success together. This is a unique partnership between young people and their community, local authorities and private business leadership, and a growing movement of supporters.

Did you know #BlueMonday is a total myth? Our mental health doesn’t stick to a timetable. If you’re struggling, why not join #BrewMonday? It’s a fantastic initiative by Samaritans encouraging us to grab a cuppa and have a chat – because it’s always good to talk.
Blue Monday isn’t real, don’t believe the hype you see today! This so-called ‘most depressing day of the year’ is a myth created in 2005 by a travel company to sell holidays. No science, no truth – just a marketing gimmick, and it feeds unhelpful stereotypes about mental health. We’ve got absolutely no time for it! So help us make space for something better and join us for ✨Brew Monday✨ instead. Our bad days aren’t for the calendar to decide, and our mental health doesn’t fit neatly into the calendar. But checking in with our friends, family, colleagues and having a proper chat can make a real difference. Share this post and help us show that being there for each other beats a marketing gimmick, any day of the year!
