Milton Keynes’ new Youth Hub will offer multiple services under one roof, including job centre support, mental health services, housing advice and training opportunities.

Milton Keynes has been chosen as one of the locations across the country that will benefit from a new Youth Hub - set to launch in 2027.

It comes as part of the government’s £2.5 billion investment in Youth Guarantee, which is designed to secure better futures and opportunities for young people across the UK.

These new Youth Hubs will foster growth, confidence and skills within young people, while connecting them with local employers and businesses to access new opportunities in Milton Keynes.

Three Milton Keynes MPs have welcomed the news that the city will be receiving a new Youth Hub after the government’s £2.5 billion investment in Youth Guarantee.

In turn, the city’s businesses will benefit from access to a growing local workforce, strengthening a business community that is home to both innovative SMEs and major employers.

In addition, local businesses will be supported to take on young staff with £3,000 payments as part of the Youth Jobs Grant, as well as hiring cost cuts for under 21s and apprentices.

Milton Keynes MPs Callum Anderson MP (Buckingham and Bletchley), Chris Curtis MP (Milton Keynes North), and Emily Darlington MP (Milton Keynes Central) have welcomed the news, and are confident that the new Youth Hub will empower young people to take ownership of their futures in Milton Keynes.

Callum Anderson MP said: “It’s brilliant that one of the youngest cities in the country is getting further provision to look after its young people. All three of us MPs - and our local council - are dedicated to rebuilding the youth services diminished by years of austerity under the Conservatives.

"I’ve seen the fantastic work that Bletchley’s Youth Centre does, and our young people deserve to have even more provision.”

Emily Darlington MP said: “Every young person in our city deserves to access the best possible support as they navigate their plans for the future. Having a dedicated space for young people to explore training and educational opportunities is vital to ensure they can take control of their future and pursue the path that works best for them.

"I’m also very excited about what this will mean for small and medium enterprises across Milton Keynes.”

The location of the Youth Hub will be decided with local partners to make sure it’s the most suitable and accessible location.
