Established to accelerate the growth of young entrepreneurs & their start-up businesses.

In the heart of Hull’s Old Town, Hull Youth Support Trust provides entrepreneurs, predominantly aged 18-30, with subsidised office space for a two year period in order to make those first few years as comfortable as possible. This together with dedicated one-to-one business guidance and personal support gives every young person the fundamental skills to succeed in business.

We encourage a community environment of likeminded people, willing to help each other. Some businesses will have been in the centre longer than others and by welcoming new start-ups through the doors gives opportunities to share their “lived experience” and skill sets and often seek opportunities to market their own businesses which in turn, aids each other’s growth.

Hull Youth Support Trust is part of the HEY Smile Foundation family of charities.
