By combining a national perspective with on the ground delivery, we have a unique insight into the ecosystem required for young people to thrive.

Our Challenge

Right now, the prospects for young people in the UK are far from promising. Many young people face numerous pressures and challenges in various aspects of their lives. Many disadvantaged young people lack adequate access to training and employment, affordable housing, long term financial security, and technology. They also must cope with a fast changing work environment, all while striving for physical and mental well-being.

Evidence shows that the barriers young people face to achieving economic independence, well being and finding the right support, are disproportionate to the population as a whole:

• Unemployment rates are three times higher for 16-25 year olds when compared with the rest of the UK population

However London is an ever changing environment with many things to consider, but young people feel strongly that their voices are not being heard.

This conference aims to address concerns and addressing opportunities raised by young people around issues of –

² Crime

² Education

² Apprenticeships

² Recruitment & jobs

² Social opportunities

² Youth provisions

² Entrepreneurship

² Sports

² Media

Young people want to address their concerns as to why they feel the system is failing them . This will be a raw, uncut and direct opportunity to hear and see first hand what young people really want and how they can work towards better solutions.
