Why is the Youth Trust so important?
A significant number of young people on the Isle of Wight face a difficult future. For example, between 2005 and 2012 the number of children either “in care” or being "looked after" by statutory authorities on the Isle of Wight has consistently been higher than average figures (to be precise, between 28% - 78% higher than South East average, depending on the year chosen). This type of figure, combined with the shocking statistic that 21% of young Islanders are classed as "in poverty", demonstrates the challenges faced by a significant proportion of the Island’s young people and the importance of organisations like the Youth Trust.
