If you missed the South East regions Youth Matters: Your National Youth Strategy Roadshow, theres an opportunity to sign up to this online session with Department for Culture, Media and Sport, UK Youth The National Youth Agency

The National Youth Strategy sets out a bold ten‑year vision for young people, shaped by the voices of over 14,000 young people across England and grounded in the realities they face today – from mental health and cost‑of‑living pressures to access to safe spaces, trusted adults and real opportunities.

As the regional roadshows come to a close, this online event is an opportunity for those who have been unable to attend an in-person event to find out more about the Strategy and what this means for their region.

The session is interactive and discussion‑led, including a national overview of the strategy, regional data highlights, a live Q&A with DCMS and delivery partners and facilitated regional breakout sessions, where you’ll explore:

- The shifts at the heart of the strategy, from national to local, fragmented to collaborative, excluded to empowered
- What the data means in your region
- How cross‑sector collaboration can drive real change on the ground

If you work in youth services, local government, education, health, housing or the VCSE sector, this is your opportunity to connect with others in your region, share insight, and help shape practical next steps.
