Levelling Up White Paper and Young Londoners
Young Londoners' Coalition
Young Londoners Coalition
​
The Young Londoners Coalition is a network of infrastructure voices in the statutory and voluntary youth sector across London, chaired by Partnership for Young London and London Youth. The sector is composed of hundreds of organisations, delivering a wide array of vital services that support the ever-changing needs of almost 3 million young people in every borough of London.
We are firmly of the belief that many of the issues that affect young Londoners are best addressed by cross-sector collaboration at a pan-London level. Those represented in this Young Londoners Coalition have close links with communities and young people across the capital and understand the complex and varied needs which exist in these communities.  Our aim is to work together to ensure that the London youth sector can speak with one voice to London and national policymakers and other partners on its capacity, needs and concerns, while ensuring that those stakeholders are able to work meaningfully and effectively with a large and complex youth sector. This builds on the work completed before on a Vision for Young Londoners.
Programme of work
We have 4 overarching priorities and various work streams within this. Our focus is as follows:
