"We saw the unacceptable scenes in Clapham on two nights last week where groups of young people thought it was acceptable to break the law and spread fear in the local community. Tougher police enforcement is one part of the solution. We also need to use all the resources at our disposal to ensure that no young Londoner is left behind."
"That's why I'm investing a record £30 million to deliver at least one high-quality late-night youth club in every single London community. It will give young Londoners somewhere safe to go, opportunities to help them fulfil their potential, and give them the support of teams of trusted adults."
"City Hall says it is the biggest ever investment in youth clubs by a mayor will keep young Londoners safe and tackle the causes of crime. According to City Hall, Government cuts between 2010 and 2024 were to blame for the closure of 81 youth centres and the loss of at least 800 youth workers."
Sir Sadiq Khan announced a £30 million funding initiative for a Youth Lates programme aimed at providing positive opportunities for young people after school, on weekends, and during holidays. This initiative follows recent disturbances in Clapham involving young people. The mayor emphasized the need for safe spaces and support for youth, stating that the funding will ensure at least one high-quality late-night youth club in every London community. This investment is part of a larger budget aimed at supporting youth in the capital, addressing the impact of previous government cuts on youth services.
