REGEN: FX YOUTH TRUST

What REGEN: FX YOUTH TRUST does

REGEN: FX Youth Trust is a Scottish-registered charity (SC038525) and private company (SC315092), founded in 2007 and headquartered at Summerlee House, Summerlee Road, Larkhall ML9 2UH. It operates as a non-profit community youth organisation serving South Lanarkshire regeneration areas, including Blantyre, Hamilton, Cambuslang, Rutherglen, Larkhall, Whitlawburn, Fernhill and Springhall. Its mission is to identify, design and deliver solutions to youth poverty, associated anti-social behaviour, and the lack of diversionary activities in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Direct beneficiaries are young people aged 8-25+, particularly those at risk of disengagement from family, school and community life.

The Trust's service portfolio comprises a core Youth Diversion Programme alongside a set of branded projects: Radworx Action Sports (indoor skate park, skating and BMX lessons), The Street Project (an immersive theatre programme addressing knife crime, bullying, substance misuse, teenage pregnancy and domestic violence, extended into Jnr Street for ages 11-13 and a 360°VR format), GoTo (mobile outreach, group work, peer mentoring and 1-to-1 counselling), The GIVIT (a youth recovery navigator programme), and several neighbourhood youth projects (Hypercyber, Larkfield, Springhall, Fernhill, SWYDT, SBYDT). Training is delivered through the Youth Work Training Academy at HIPY Hamilton, offering Basic, Advanced and 6-month residential courses. The Trust also administers the Youth Voice Fund (up to £150 per individual, up to £500 per youth group). Notable recognition includes the 2013 COSLA Chairman's Award for The Street Project — the first time awarded in South Lanarkshire. There is no proprietary technology platform; delivery is human-led by youth workers and trained volunteers across community centres, schools and mobile outreach venues.

The Trust's funding model is grant-dependent rather than commercial: revenue is sourced from charitable grants and public funding, and is redistributed as self-help grants to youth groups and individuals rather than retained as margin. Annual grant distributions ranged from £54,300 (2017/18) to £138,000 (2009/10). Services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries. Go-to-market is community-led, with referrals via youth workers, teachers, community organisations and direct engagement across South Lanarkshire. Marketing is limited to organic social (Facebook), the Trust website, and word-of-mouth through community networks. The Trust is governed by a board structure including a volunteer Youth Board, with Wendy McInally serving as Trust Manager. No equity, venture, or institutional ownership is present.

Regional players

• YPWC (Young People's Wellbeing Project) / Inspire Scotland: Scottish youth services charities operating diversion, mental health and wellbeing, and youth justice programmes for at-risk adolescents comparable to Regen:fx's GoTo and The Street projects, though typically in different Scottish council areas.

Broad incumbents

• Barnardo's Scotland: One of the UK's largest children's charities, operating across Scotland and the rest of the UK with services ranging from fostering and early intervention to youth justice and anti-social behaviour programmes. Highly comparable in mission (supporting vulnerable/at-risk youth) and target demographic, though vastly larger and broader in scope than the regional Regen:fx.
• National Youth Agency (NYA): UK body supporting youth work practice, training, and standards — closely aligned to Regen:fx's Youth Work Training Academy and Basic/Advanced Youth Work courses. While primarily a sector body rather than a delivery charity, it oversees much of the same training infrastructure.
• Action for Children: National UK charity delivering services for children, young people and families, including youth justice, emotional wellbeing, and community-based early intervention programmes comparable to Regen:fx's Youth Diversion and GoTo projects. Larger scale but overlapping mission and service categories.
• Prince's Trust (Scotland): Major UK charity supporting disadvantaged young people into employment, education and training — directly comparable to Regen:fx's employment/education pathways outcome (64–190 young people annually). Much larger scale but highly overlapping mission and outcome metrics.

Direct peers

• Cyrenians: Scottish charity working on issues including social inclusion, anti-social behaviour, youth engagement, and recovery/support — overlapping with Regen:fx's youth diversion, GIVIT youth recovery, and community regeneration work. Comparable in size and Scottish regional scope.
• Youth Scotland: Scottish national umbrella for youth work organisations, supporting Duke of Edinburgh, Youth Achievement Awards and Saltire Awards — all of which Regen:fx delivers alongside its diversion programmes. Closest directly-comparable peer in terms of mission, geography, and product mix.
• StreetGames: UK charity using sport (including action sports, skateboarding, BMX) to reach disadvantaged young people in disadvantaged communities — directly comparable to Regen:fx's Radworx Action Sports programme and youth diversion-via-sport model.
• Crime Concern / St Giles Trust (now Catch22): UK charity operating youth justice and diversion programmes targeting knife crime, anti-social behaviour and youth offending — directly comparable to Regen:fx's Youth Diversion Programme and The Street Project's knife crime focus.
• Roar (Connections for Growth): Scottish community-based charity delivering youth work and family support across Lanarkshire and West Central Scotland, including diversionary and outreach programmes for at-risk young people — directly overlapping Regen:fx's geographical footprint and service model.
