A mention for SAVY – Stockport Action for Voluntary Youth.  SAVY is the umbrella group bringing together voluntary youth groups in Stockport, with 62 groups under the umbrella including Girl Guides, Scouts, faith groups (Christian, Muslim and Jewish), Air Training Corps and many more.

The 62 groups involve over 1,000 voluntary youth workers (of which, in my own small way, I’m one) and engages with over 5,000 young people and children.

SAVY provides supports and guidance, CRB and safeguarding training, an active youth forum, training and advice.
