The British Youth Council, known informally as BYC, was a UK charity that worked to empower young people and promote their interests. The national charity, run by young people, exists to represent the views of young people to government and decision-makers at a local, national, European and international level; and to promote the increased participation of young people in society and public life. It was partly funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and UK Parliament.
The charity announced its closure on 21st March 2024 after over 70 years working in the youth voice sector, following financial insolvency.All assets of the British Youth Council have been taken over by the National Youth Agency.[1]
