Young People United (YPU)
Young People United is a dynamic youth association that helps nurture and build the talented young people of Medway and nearby areas from ages 6 to 24.
Who We Are
Welcome to Young People United (YPU), a vibrant and dynamic sub-group of MACA dedicated to empowering and engaging the youth of Medway. Founded in 2014 by three friends—Safiya, Chris, and Holly—YPU was born out of their friendship and shared vision for creating a space that transcends differences and celebrates unity.
In 2015, the YPU community faced a profound loss with the passing of Safiya. Her legacy lives on through the annual Young Black Achievers Awards, where YPU awards are presented to honour her memory. Today, YPU is more than a group; it’s a testament to the strength of friendships and the impact young individuals can make in their community.
What We Do
YPU is committed to providing a platform for Medway’s young people to participate, engage, and grow. Our current projects reflect our dedication to creativity, education, and cultural exploration.
Get Involved
We are calling on the next generation of Medway’s young people to join us, participate, and help YPU grow. If you’re passionate about making a difference, exploring your creativity, and being part of a supportive community, we want to hear from you!
