NYAS is a UK charity providing socio-legal services. We offer information, advice, advocacy and legal representation to children, young people and vulnerable adults through a network of dedicated paid workers and volunteers throughout England and Wales.
Through these services NYAS provides a safety net for children, young people and vulnerable adults, who have nowhere else to turn.
