Young People Matter Charity

What Young People Matter Charity does

Young People Matter is a UK registered charity (Registered Charity No: 1134959; Registered Company No: 6418296) operating out of Stockwell, South London, that delivers subsidized out-of-school childcare and youth services to children and young people aged 4-19. Its service portfolio comprises four lines: After School & Breakfast Clubs for ages 4-11, Half Term & Holiday Clubs (including summer camps) for ages 4+, Youth Services (Junior's Club and Youth Club) for ages 12-19, and Community Outreach programs. Services are delivered directly on the premises of 11+ partner primary schools across South London — including Crawford, Granton, Reay, St John's Angell Town, Fenstanton, Wyvil, Elm Wood, Ashmole, Rosendale, Lark Hall, Henry Fawcett, and St Andrews C of E Primary Schools — each of which holds its own Ofsted registration, alongside Training Centre registration (No: 34978).

The underlying technology stack is modest: a web-based childcare booking platform (young-people-matter.childcare-online-booking.co.uk) for parent enrollment and reservation, the organization's own website (youngpeoplematter.org) for information dissemination and downloadable term materials, and a PayPal fundraising page (charity ID 3204718) for donations. There are no proprietary AI, ML, or data systems; technology is used as a transactional and communications layer rather than as a differentiator. The organization maintains a Data Protection Policy as part of its governance framework.

Commercially, Young People Matter operates on a hybrid charity model. Revenue is drawn from three streams: parent service fees for childcare (pricing is not publicly disclosed and is explicitly offset by funding to ensure affordability for working parents facing economic hardship or inflexible hours), donations and charitable contributions from individuals, trusts, and foundations, and funding subsidies/grants. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via word-of-mouth referrals within South London communities, school network channels, the charity's website, and the online booking portal. The stated mission is to provide state school pupils with developmental opportunities comparable to those available in the private sector. Headcount is 7 employees.

• Coram: Long-established UK children's charity with a broad portfolio including early-years services, family support, and youth programmes. Comparable as a London-headquartered charity addressing children's welfare and development.

Others
