Work. Wellbeing. Home. Talent is everywhere — opportunity, support and access are not. UYN helps young people build the foundations to thrive.
Work affects income. Income affects housing. Housing affects wellbeing. UYN connects the pieces — one trusted network for opportunities, people and support.
Sometimes all that’s missing is an opportunity. We’re starting in Reading and Berkshire, proving what works before we grow.
Upsurge JobHub — skills, mentoring and real routes into shadowing, internships, apprenticeships and jobs.
Upsurge Wellbeing — activity, community and early signposting. Not a clinical or crisis service.
Upsurge Home — spotting housing difficulties early and connecting young people with the right services.
Work. Wellbeing. Home.
One network built around all three
A job can change someone’s circumstances; a career can change their future. But it’s hard to keep either without wellbeing and a secure home.
- Career mentoring, CV, interview and AI skills
- Wellbeing workshops and peer support
- Housing information and specialist referrals
Built for young people aged 16 to 35.
Many pathways. One goal: growth.
Become part of the community and get clear on your goals and strengths.
Meet mentors, peers and employers. Build career, digital and life skills.
Jobs, apprenticeships, training and events — plus early help with wellbeing and housing.
Progress in your career, then come back as a mentor, volunteer or ambassador.
One opportunity. One connection. One conversation.
Donate, fundraise, volunteer, offer an opportunity or partner with us — and become part of someone’s journey.
Housing information, early-support conversations and homelessness prevention.
Wellbeing workshops, running and peer activities, and referral partners.
Work. Wellbeing. Home.
Three foundations.
One network.
Share your experience. Build someone’s future.
Mentor a young person, share what you know, run a mock interview or help at an event. Our network runs on people like you.
A workshop. A CV. An interview. A career.
One donation can start a chain: a workshop improves a CV, the CV wins an interview, the interview opens a career.
Career workshops, CV clinics, mock interviews, career fairs and mentoring.
Wellbeing workshops, running and community activities, and referral partnerships.
Housing information, early-support conversations and homelessness prevention.
Funds used responsibly, impact measured and progress reported.
Notice: Test mode is enabled. While in test mode no live donations are processed.
Ideas. Stories. Opportunities. Perspectives.
Conversations on the issues shaping young people’s futures — from employment and AI to wellbeing, housing and entrepreneurship.
