August 21, 2026August and September can bring a lot of change for young people. Some might be receiving exam results, leaving school or college, looking for work, thinking about a new direction, or just not sure what they want to do next. The King’s Trust is here to help young people find their next steps – allowing them to explore their options, build confidence, and find practical support to move towards a future that feels right for them. All our courses are free, and we reimburse travel costs for all our courses. We can also support with childcare costs. View September 2026 Newsletter   [...] Read more...

The Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership (CYPSP) brings together a range of agencies, including voluntary and community sector organisations, that aim to improve the lives of children and young people in Northern Ireland.

In the past, despite best efforts, everyone who worked with children and young people provided services separately which only created problems for children and young people, and their families and wasted resources. The CYPSP aims to plan and provide services for children and young people more efficiently by making joint decisions about the services needed, and funding these services together.

Importantly, the CYPSP emphasizes a rights-based approach to its work. This means planning services that uphold children’s rights and encouraging children, young people and their parents to participate in the process.
