A Youth Hub in every local area
“Open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the Hub is part of the Government’s commitment to deliver a Youth Hub in every local area of Great Britain over the next three years, building a national network of support for the nearly one million young people not in education, employment or training.”
- Delivering
Where it stands
Youth Hubs put Jobcentre Plus, council services, employers and training providers under one roof for young people aged 16 to 24. The Department for Work and Pensions repeated the commitment on 12 October 2026 as a hub opened in Exeter, and says every hub will meet a set of minimum standards. The release does not say when the three years started, what counts as a local area, or how many hubs that means, so the card has no deadline yet.

About the cost
The release says the government is investing £2.5bn so that all young people can earn or learn, but not how much of that pays for Youth Hubs, so no yearly figure is shown.

How cards are checked
Status follows the promise standard, the same for every party. A status changes only on evidence. Anyone named on a card can reply, and replies are published next to it. AI Journalist is our automated reviewer: it re-reads every card against its live sources (the quote word for word, dates, evidence, status, cost, neutral wording, legal risk). Two editors also check every card against its sources and approve it.
