NYAS (National Youth Advocacy Service)

Changing young lives


Together with your support, we can ensure that no child or young person is ever alone or voiceless in the care system.


At NYAS (The National Youth Advocacy Service), we are there for care experienced children and young people. We ensure that no child or young person is alone or voiceless in the care system, in the family court or where others are making 
decisions about their future that profoundly affect their lives.


We are at the forefront of championing for children’s rights, leading on preventing and ending social injustice faced by care experienced children and young people, tirelessly 
campaigning to secure a world where children’s rights aren’t just recognised, but are celebrated!  


Become a #TeamNYAS fundraiser today. Choose from a range of incredible events (many of which are sold out to the public). Get active and walk, run, hike, swim or even a bounce on a giant inflatable obstacle course. Simply, choose your event and get fundraising! 


Get in touch at fundraising@nyas.net - we'd love to hear from you!


With your support, we can change more young lives like, Lavanya, who was supported by a NYAS Independent Visitor, a volunteer who is matched with a child, providing support and friendship through visiting with them once a month.

"Our visits have been the highlight in my life and you have been the best friend I could ever ask for. Thanks so much for everything and I've become such a better person and more confident."
Lavanya, Young Person
