EMPOWER 6 Month Impact Report 2025-26

Empower Youth Zones runs HideOut and Salford Youth Zone, purpose-built centres giving young people in Greater Manchester safe spaces, activities and trusted youth work support. This is a 6-month, mid-cycle impact report rather than a full annual report; the underlying PDF was inaccessible to automated retrieval, so this entry draws on organisational background and secondary sources rather than the report's specific figures.
