In the immediate aftermath of lockdown restrictions imposed to stop the spread of Covid-19, Youthlink Scotland surveyed Scotland’s Youth Work Sector Leaders to determine the scale of the impact this would have on the sector.
They received a fantastic response, with over three quarters sharing their views and concerns with, enabling them to put together a detailed picture of the sector’s ability to support young people throughout the duration of Covid-19 – and beyond.
While the survey results demonstrate once again the resilience of the sector in times of adversity, thier concern is that they also foreshadow a sustained period of immense financial strain for the sector. Unless urgent action is taken to ensure the viability of our sector beyond Covid-19, youth work services across the country will be transformed beyond recognition, to the detriment of an entire generation of young people in Scotland.
Key figures to emerge from the survey:
· National voluntary youth work organisations in Scotland are facing an immediate income loss of £20.5m
· 70% of youth work leaders in Scotland believe there will be cuts to services and budgets after Covid-19
· 60% of local authority youth work services face significant digital barriers in connecting with young people
· 92% of youth work organisations have moved their services online
· One in two youth work leaders believe there will be a detrimental impact on young people’s mental health due to lockdown restrictions

We are sharing these findings with permission to the whole school community to inform you all.
