Solent Youth Action (SYA) is a dynamic youth-led charity dedicated to supporting vulnerable young people aged 10–25 across Hampshire. We work with those facing learning and physical disabilities, neurodiversity, mental health challenges, caring responsibilities, and those at risk of exploitation or harm—helping to improve their social, emotional, and economic outcomes.

Through supported volunteering, weekly youth clubs, holiday schemes, mentoring, and life skills workshops, we create safe, meaningful opportunities for young people to connect, grow, and thrive. We focus on building confidence, resilience, and essential life skills—arming young people with the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges.

Our support extends to families too—offering advocacy and guidance where it’s most needed.

At SYA, we believe every young person deserves the chance to fulfil their potential, no matter their circumstances, but we can't do it alone. Your support—whether through donations, partnerships, or volunteering—directly powers the programmes that change lives. Every pound helps us reach more young people and strengthen our impact.

Stand with us, support us, and help create a future where every young person has the opportunity to shine no matter their challenges.
