The Joseph Levy Charitable Foundation is generously supporting YouthNet's pioneering project, askTheSite, with a grant of £98,400 over three years.

The Joseph Levy Charitable Foundation supports charitable work that enables people to build better futures in their communities and to improve their quality of life.

The Foundation is generously funding the management of YouthNet's askTheSite service with a grant of £98,400 over three years. askTheSite is a ground-breaking online advice service which enables young people to submit a question confidentially over the internet about any problem they are facing, and receive free, expert and tailored advice within three working days. To achieve this, we work in partnership with leaders in the information-provision field to answer diverse questions on topics of concern to young people. Our partners include Addaction, Brook, bss, CAB, Samaritans, SANEline and Shelter, as well as five expert Relationship Advisors.

With the Foundation's kind support, over the past year askTheSite has provided answers to over 6,000 individual questions about careers and study, general health, drink and drugs, housing, legal issues,mental and emotional health, money, relationships and sexual health. We also publish an archive of previously answered questions which have had more than 900,000 visits over the past 12 months alone.

"We are extremely grateful for the Foundation's generous and continued support towards our askTheSite project, giving us the capacity to develop the technology and partnership-working that is vital to its success," Claire Easterman, New Projects Development Manager.
