History

Youth Federation was originally formed in 1952 by Lord Leverhulme as Cheshire Association of Boys Clubs. CABC was tasked with supporting youth organisations across Cheshire in order that volunteers and staff could deliver a quality service to young people across the county.

As the Borough Councils emerged the Cheshire Federation of Youth Clubs as it became  known, increased its reach to include Halton, Warrington and Wirral and the organisation became fully constituted in 1976. The organisation stayed the Cheshire Federation of Youth Clubs until 1999 when it became Youth Federation as it has remained until the present day.

To celebrate our 60th anniversary, we have received funding to produce a full historical record, and this is currently being researched and written.  We hope to have it available before Easter 2011.
