Against a backdrop of growing social challenges, from rising inequality and loneliness to increasing polarisation and uncertainty about the future, more than 400 young people from across the UK and Ireland gathered this July for a national youth conference that offered a different vision.

Across cities, towns, and villages, young people are leading efforts to transform their communities. This summer, over 500 youth across the UK are participating in a national initiative rooted in service to humanity and spiritual development.
