What We Do

We empower vulnerable and disadvantaged young people to have a voice.

Through our unique multi-media journalism programme children and young people research and produce stories for publication and broadcast about issues that concern them and campaign for change in their communities. Young people from Headliners have had their stories and campaigns told on BBC, SKY and ITV and many local TV and radio stations and online.

Our learning programme improves the educational and employment prospects for young people, brings young people together from different backgrounds and experiences to improve community relations and helps them make good choices in their own lives. Our young people can gain accreditation in a range of digital media skills, journalism and personal progression.

Young people are involved in decision making across the organisation and four of our Trustees are former participants in the Headliners programme.

We work with young people in London, North East England and Northern Ireland.

Young person in custody, 2015

Since Headliners started in 1994, we have worked with over 10,000 young people and they have produced more than 6,000 stories on issues important to them.

Last year we worked with 1,012 young people.

643 were involved in social action projects in their community

215 achieved accreditation in journalism and digital media skills

We built 31 new partnerships with other organisations working with young people across England and Northern Ireland

97% of young people on our National Citizen Service programme graduated in 2015 after completing their social action projects and they volunteered 13,610 hours.

91% of young people we worked with said they had better job prospects and were more confident about their future

We have developed a number of priorities for young people in the period 2015-2018 which are outlined in our strategic plan

These include:

Offering enhanced employability programmes, particularly training and access to digital media opportunities, for vulnerable young people

Further develop participation/ co-production programmes ensuring the voice of vulnerable young people is heard in decision-making, particularly those with special educational needs and disabilities

Develop more work with new/under-represented groups of young people including refugees and asylum seekers

Further develop progression and leadership opportunities available in our centres for young people who have already accessed Headliners programmes

Our plans are also outlined in our latest annual report and accounts
