What Association for Young People's Health does

The Association for Young People's Health (AYPH) is a UK-registered charity (Charity Number 1122400) and Company Limited by Guarantee (Company Number 06412836) founded in 2007 and headquartered in London. AYPH works to understand and meet the particular health and wellbeing needs of young people aged 10-25, delivering research, advocacy, training, and youth participation services. Core offerings include the Youth Health Data Hub (a data platform providing key statistics on young people's health and health inequalities), Youth Health Essentials training (co-developed and co-delivered with young trainers), evidence and research briefings, and youth engagement and participation resources. AYPH also leads the Young People's Health Partnership, a coalition of seven VCSE organisations representing over 1,600 services across the UK.

AYPH's business model is built on charitable funding and grants, commissioned research, and consultancy services. Revenue is derived from grants from foundations including the Health Foundation and Local Government Association, commissioned research for organisations such as the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), and consultancy services offered to health services, local authorities, and voluntary sector organisations. A free membership programme serves as a community-building mechanism for individuals and organisations working in young people's health. The organisation is governed by a board of trustees, an advisory council, and a Youth Advisory Panel that embeds young people in governance and programme delivery. Key institutional partners include the Health Foundation, Local Government Association, RCPCH &Us, Race Equality Foundation, Young Epilepsy, Coram Voice, and London Borough of Newham.
