At NYAS we’re on a mission to improve the lives of care experienced children and young people, working to ensure they feel safe, heard, and involved in decisions being made about their lives.
NYAS is a leading rights-based charity serving care experienced children and young people across England and Wales. Advocacy is at the heart of what we do, and over the course of our 40 year history we have broadened the scope of our services to include activities that support children directly (e.g. befriending, legal representation, return interviews, mental health advocacy and project based work), and indirectly such as inspection of children’s homes and training for professionals.
Connecting all these services we have a national, free to call helpline which receives over 20,000 contacts a year, resulting in 11,540 new advocacy cases in 2019/20. These services help to ensure that we can be there, whenever a child or young person in care needs us.
