Proud to put my name & that of @YouthareUnited to this important letter as we seek essential investment for young people across our communities. Standing with respected colleagues across the sector as well as the @YouthareUnited Network Members changing lives each day.
After the release of the serious youth violence report, as leaders representing young people, we have some urgent suggestions @BorisJohnson: An immediate investment of £50m into positive activities for young people, focused on those from disadvantaged backgrounds💪
So excited to share the launch of SCD, our brand new CIC and the new chapter in community dance leadership for my fabulous Mrs B. Please take a look, like or follow. scd.org.uk #DancingForGood
