First Class Youth Network (FCYN)

First Class Youth Network has been highly successful in developing their organisation and programmes for young people since 2004.

They support young people to break out of worklessness and criminal activity and become part of a positive youth network built around values such as faith, trust, time and integrity. Participants have gone on to gain employment and frequently become part of FCYN’s other projects as volunteers or paid members of staff.

FCYN describes itself as creating a positive 'domino effect' amongst young people who have a real need and desire for change. The Trust’s grant will enable them to support more young people within the network. FCYN is based in Birmingham.
