The Young Foundation combines creativity and entrepreneurship to tackle major social needs. We work on many different levels to achieve positive social change–including advocacy, research, and policy influence as well as creating new organisations and running practical projects. The Young Foundation benefits from a long history of social research, innovation and practical action by the late Michael Young, once described as the “world’s most successful social entrepreneur”, who created more than 60 ventures which address social needs. Over the last five years we have been involved in the design and launch of over forty successful new ventures, including charities, social enterprises, businesses and public organisations, as well as hosting SIX, the world’s leading network of organisations involved in social innovation. www. youngfoundation. org
