Our job is to back them with the spaces, support and trust they deserve.

In our session with the Southwark Youth Parliament, the focus was clear: safety, youth poverty, mental health, access to opportunity. They weren’t just naming problems - they were offering ideas. What’s missing is the resource and trust to act on them.

We also visited St Giles Trust in Camberwell - a charity supporting young people affected by violence, poverty and county lines. Their peer-led model, and work with the VRU, shows what’s possible when support is rooted in lived experience and real trust.

Through Elevated Minds, sixth-formers from St Thomas the Apostle College joined us in Parliament.
They spoke about the gap between how young people are perceived and how they actually live. About policing, identity, mental health and where they feel they belong.

At the Damilola Taylor Youth Centre, Janet Daby, Minister for Children and Families, saw the MyEnds programme in action: boxing, football, mentoring - all youth-led. The centre is trusted and full every week. But demand is outpacing capacity.

This summer I’ve been out across the community - at youth centres, in Parliament, and in roundtables - hearing directly from young people.
The Young Futures Summer Series is our way of listening, learning, and starting to build something better with them.
