Young Mayors at GOL

Published: Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:11:33

The Young Mayor Network (london) is a new and growing partnership between the 4 London Boroughs which have established Young Mayors (Lewisham, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Lambeth), to co-ordinate efforts across London, share resources and encourage other boroughs to initiate their own Young Mayor Schemes.

Young Mayors sit at the heart of the decision making process and help influence the way in which decisions are made for young people in their Boroughs. GOL are currently working closely with the London young mayors, supporting development of the network and hosting some of the activities until June.  Already there have been two very successful network meetings at GOL, one attended by representatives from the London Serious Youth Violence Board (LSYVB) to talk through programmes and initiatives. The young people have also started to plan a stocktake of their first five years work in their local authorities to highlight their successes, challenges and the importance of youth engagement at local and regional level.
