The Lewisham Youth Alliance (LYA) is a borough wide partnership of organisations, services and community leaders committed to supporting children and young people across Lewisham.
We work together to connect services, share insights, amplify youth voice, and drive collaborative action so that every young person in our borough can thrive.
We bring together voluntary, community, faith and statutory organisations working with young people to build stronger networks and shared solutions.
Through joint surveys, lived experience feedback and shared data, we help organisations understand what matters most to young people today.
We champion the voices of young people at local strategic tables and ensure their perspectives shape services and policies in Lewisham.
Rather than working alone, Alliance members collaborate on projects, funding bids and programmes that have greater impact together.
To strengthen partnership working, support youth inclusion, and embed youth voice at the heart of strategic decision-making in Lewisham.
We do this by:

✔ work with young people in Lewisham
