Young Lives Foundation (YLF) - Advocacy Service


The Young Lives Foundation (YLF) is an independent children's charity, providing the children’s rights and advocacy service for all young people entitled to receive support from Kent.

Advocates will be alongside young people at important meetings, speaking on their behalf or encouraging and enabling them to speak up for themselves.

YLF advocates support young people by enabling them to have their voices heard in looked-after child reviews, care proceedings and Family Group Conferences and on issues such as education, placements, leaving care and family contact.
