Ahead of the #GeneralElection2024, we asked young people and youth professionals from our membership for their unique perspectives on the needs of the youth sector in the capital. We captured their thoughts on what is most urgently needed to support young Londoners to thrive.
Youth work transforms lives. We believe that every young person, regardless of their postcode, deserves to benefit from life-changing opportunities. Together, we’re urging the new Government to:
✔️ Provide long-term investment in community spaces and places where great youth work happens.
✔️ Elevate the youth sector workforce by recognising, rewarding and developing their career pathways.
✔️ Commit to providing a consistent and equitable national youth offer for all young people.
✔️ Centre young people in all political decision making that shapes their futures.
✔️ Appoint a secretary of state for youth whose remit is to join up all relevant policies for children and young people.
