Young Westminster Foundation

Young Westminster Foundation is a cross-sector partnership, working with youth clubs, charities, schools, businesses, and Westminster City Council. Together we shape opportunities and create the best services for children and young people in Westminster. We are a membership organisation and we continue to build a community of support for organisations and people working with children and young people across the borough. Our vision is that all young people in Westminster grow up healthy, safe and happy with the best opportunities for bright futures. All children and young people need opportunities for learning and fun, beyond family and schools. They also need to develop strong relationships with peers and adults, in order to learn about the world and contribute to their communities. London is a fast-paced, changeable city with massive challenges ahead. London’s youth population is growing at an unprecedented rate and are a vital asset to our future right now, they are the next generation of future talent. We are part of the Young Peoples Foundation (YPF) model, working alongside newly formed foundations in other London Boroughs and across the country. YWF has been established with infrastructure funding awarded from John Lyon’s Charity and Westminster City Council and we formally registered as a charity in September 2016.
