We have a range of peer advisory boards in place supporting the work of the various projects. These groups consist of young Londoners who are interested in key areas of work, they meet on a monthly basis to support the programmes of work underway. The advisory boards help shape our work, create content and resources, undertake research, attend events, host seminars depending on the nature of the projects. The key skills gained from being involved include skills around leadership, communications and public, research and analysis, influencing and campaigning, networking among others.

The pan-London children in care council (CiCC) brings together a group of care-experienced young people to create opportunities, improve services and influence policy work within the care sector.
“I’ve had the chance to attend the launch of the pan-London care leavers compact in February this year. It was wonderful to see so many care-experienced young people attend from across London and hear from their inspiring speeches at the event.
I’ve also had the opportunity to attend incredible events with organisations like Google and City Academy which have broadened my perspectives on careers in the tech and creative industries. As a care leaver I’m grateful that Partnership for Young London have created meaningful opportunities to improve support and actively involve care leavers in the design of services and events across London”. – Aaliyah
