Youth workers change lives.
They keep young people safe, build confidence, open doors, and strengthen our communities.
If the gov't is serious about safer neighbourhoods and brighter futures, it must give youth work the funding it deserves.

Thanks to @EMCYP_ for hosting our Youth Members meeting. We discussed the increasing risk of division, the importance of young people's voices and community cohesion. The group also looked at ways to develop coalition proposals that build on our shared expertise and experience.

SEND young adults are not a disposable corporate tick box exercise. Nor a political after thought.
I’ve met so many hardworking SEND young people across Leicester South facing barriers to enter employment.
Inclusion isn’t optional. It’s essential. The govt must turn promises into real pathways.

It was great to chat to you !! Thank you for your support and for coming to visit us !
No one should ever be left behind because of ability.
So many young people have the talent and drive to work, but employment pathways need better accessibility.
Invaluable hearing first-hand experiences from the @EMCYP_ Adult Inclusion Group, which I’ll be raising in Parliament.
Thank you for the great conversations. And the cheesecake! 😋
Thank you @ShockatAdam 👏🏻
Great to welcome @ShockatAdam and Cllr Elaine Pantling (Assistant Mayor for CYP) to our adult inclusion group last night.
Shockat spoke with our young adults, and their parents, about SEN and inclusive employment ahead of the upcoming SEN reforms. 🤗

Warm words won’t save youth services.
Cuts keep coming, while leaders say “young people matter.”
This from @UKYouth needs to be read — and challenged.👇

Youth workers are truly the backbone of our communities – huge thanks for all that you do! Amazing to hear of new counselling service for young people at @EMCYP_ too 👏

Our youth might be 20% of our present—but they’re 100% of our future.
Thank you to Leicester's youth services like Pedestrian, Shubaan Youth Club and @EMCYP_ for investing in that future every single day.
We’ve called for clarity on youth service funding. We won’t stop fighting for the support young people deserve—youth work changes lives, and its impact lasts a lifetime. #YouthWorkMatters
