Cabinet Member for Children and Young People
The current discussion for the Cabinet Member for Children and Young People involves a proposed youth enterprise hub for young people in Lewisham.
In March 2026, Lewisham's Young Mayor, Shane Grant, proposed a Lewisham Youth Enterprise Hub at a Mayor and Cabinet meeting, a matter relevant to the Cabinet Member for Children and Young People's remit. This initiative, which has a proposed budget of £25,000, aims to foster entrepreneurial skills among young people aged 14 to 21, extending to 25 for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
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, as reported in March 2026.
