Turning young people's ideas into actions
Everything we do starts with listening to young people. We listen to their ideas, needs, and ambitions, then we work together to turn those ideas into actions.
One of our recent highlights was the Young Leaders Awards which were created in response to a call from our Youth Council. They told us that young people in the borough deserve to be recognised not just for academic success, but for the positive impact they’re making every day. The awards aim to:
- bost confidence
- increase youth participation in the council
- challenge negative stereotypes, and celebrate the difference young people are making across Kensington and Chelsea

What’s next?
Youth Voice Summit 2025
We are planning our summit in September 2025. This event will bring together youth groups from across the borough with local councillors to explore one big question: 'How can we build a better borough for young people?' It will be a space for real conversations and real change, driven by youth voice.
If you have ideas or want to get involved, email us at [email protected] with the subject line 'Youth Voice Summit'.
