As we embark on an ambitious plan to devolve power to local leaders and communities, we are determined to champion that change not just at national level but in every part of government. We will take this conversation to our towns, villages and cities in every region on young people’s terms, not ours, to allow them to challenge us every step of the way. They will be in the driving seat. We will make sure that young people are empowered at local, regional and national level, so that funding flows to the things that matter to them. In the coming months, these conversations will feed into a report, Today’s Youth, Tomorrow’s Nation, detailing young people’s priorities to inform our new approach. Next year, we will present to this House a co-produced national youth strategy that is fit for the decade ahead and ensures that every young person can live the richer, larger life they deserve.
