We’re delighted that the Secretary of State has committed to delivering a National Youth Strategy.
On 17 October, Lisa Nandy highlighted the troubling lack of national youth strategy and declared that the new government is ‘determined to grip this issue’. She also praised youth workers and described the youth funding decrease of 73 percent as ‘a source of national shame’.

ALT “We’re very pleased to hear Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy, recognising the depths of the youth sector funding cuts, along with the transformative impact of youth workers who are continuing to deliver for young people amid this challenging environment.
We’re also delighted that the Secretary of State has committed to delivering a National Youth Strategy. We’ve been advocating for the need for a national strategy for over a year through the National Youth Sector Advisory Board’s Roadmap to National Youth Strategy and our own manifesto. We’re looking forward to working with the Secretary of State, young people and the youth sector to develop this.”
– Leigh Middleton OBE, CEO, NYA
