We are proud to launch our ambitious 2026 to 2029 strategy, setting out a bold vision to transform the lives of young people across our community. At its heart, this strategy is about creating a safe, inspiring space where every young person can thrive: physically, emotionally and socially.
Responding to urgent local needs, we are committed to providing meaningful opportunities that raise aspirations and unlock potential. From hot meals and safe spaces to high-quality arts provision and wellbeing support, our Youth Zone will meet young people where they are and help them grow.
Over the next three years, we will strengthen youth voice, co-design programmes with young people, and build leadership pathways that empower them to shape their futures. Collaboration will be central to everything we do, working with partners across education, health, and the community to maximise impact.
By 2029, we aim to engage thousands of young people each week, expand access to arts and sport, and create lasting social value. This strategy is more than a plan. It is a commitment to the next generation, ensuring every young person has the opportunity to belong, achieve and succeed.
