Lewisham Youth Enterprise Hub
Lewisham's Young Mayor has proposed a Youth Enterprise Hub to foster entrepreneurial skills among young people.
Lewisham's Young Mayor, Shane Grant, proposed a Youth Enterprise Hub in March 2026, aiming to foster entrepreneurial skills among young people aged 14 to 21, or up to 25 for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. The initiative was presented at a Mayor and Cabinet meeting.
The proposed hub would offer start-up grants, co-working spaces, mentoring programmes, and workshops on business planning, marketing, and finance. It also includes plans for 'Shark Tank-style' pitch events. A proposed budget of £25,000 was mentioned for the initiative.
