Identity, belonging and community
A City within a City (Westminster youth needs analysis, edition 1)

About this report
This needs analysis explored the experiences and concerns of young people growing up in the London Borough of Westminster. Conducted through surveys, peer-to-peer interviews, focus groups and consultation events, it found that despite widespread resilience and pride in living in Westminster, young people have significant anxieties about crime, housing affordability, mental health, and access to opportunities. The report highlights stark inequalities within the borough and makes recommendations for the Young Westminster Foundation on how to coordinate youth services, support the youth sector, and focus investment where it is most needed.
