Charities join forces to improve opportunities for city’s young people

By 28 January 2019September 8th, 2022No Comments

A number of youth development charities in Portsmouth have come together to discuss how they can collectively improve services for young people in the city.

At a meeting hosted by Portsmouth South MP Stephen Morgan, charities and those who work with young people in Portsmouth discussed the current support services available for young people, and also where the city falls short. 

Topics of discussion included the challenges charities are facing and how closer collaboration between organisations could help young people in the city navigate the challenges of adolescence and unlock their full potential.

In the past year, Mr Morgan has been heavily involved in supporting youth development locally, visiting city groups and schools, inviting young people to Parliament and hosting a number of events for different organisations including The Girls Network and Leonard Cheshire.

 Stephen Morgan MP said:

“It was really helpful to have a much-needed discussion today about youth development services in the city and how best we can all work together.

“The common goal of everyone in the room was to see young people in Portsmouth reaching their full potential no matter what their background is, and to provide the best support possible to as many young people as possible.

“I’d like to thank everyone who came along today and to everyone who works so hard to help young people across our great city.”
