The Federation for Detached Youth Work (FDYW) was formally launched during the Detached Youth Workers Conference at Warwick University in 1996, where it also gained charitable status.
It is essentially a 'grassroots' organisation; being established solely through the voluntary efforts of detached youth work practitioners from across the country.
It did not come about overnight, but was the product of initial deliberations starting during the Keele conferences of the 70’s and 80’s and concluding in Sheffield in 1992. A paper was presented at the 1994 National conference, which outlined the purpose and structure of the proposed Federation. A Steering Group was formed and tasked with developing the aspiration to set up a Federation and bringing it into being. Since then the organisation has been based in Newcastle, Liverpool and, London. It currently is based within the National Youth Agency in Leicester. An Executive Committee, comprising of volunteers is elected by the general membership each year at the Annual General Meeting. The organisation has no paid staff.
