Brent's Youth Strategy
Brent Council is currently focusing on upgrading youth centres and implementing a new youth justice plan, both shaped by young people's input.
Brent Council is progressing its youth strategy, which supports young people in the borough, by investing £4 million to upgrade its youth centres. Councillor Gwen Grahl, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People & Schools, stated in November 2025 that young people are involved in the design and usage of these spaces. This aims to create modern, engaging environments that cater to their diverse needs.
Also in November 2025, the council adopted the Youth Justice Plan 2025-28, a three-year strategy outlining the funding and delivery of youth justice services. This plan, with a £1.7 million partnership budget, was informed by feedback from young people and aligns with the council's Borough Plan 2023-27. No further council meetings on this topic are currently scheduled.
