We’re delighted that the Secretary of State has committed to delivering a National Youth Strategy. On 17 October, Lisa Nandy highlighted the troubling lack of national youth strategy and declared that the new government is ‘determined to grip this issue’. She also praised youth workers and described the youth funding decrease of 73 percent as ‘a source of national shame’. 🎥 Watch this important commitment to youth services being made by Lisa in the House of Commons here from 8.04 - 11.07: https://lnkd.in/e63B2ArG #NationalYouthStrategy #NYSAB #YouthWork #YouthSector
