Youth Strategy Partnership Groups:

Watford District Youth Strategy Group

Supporting, evaluating and promoting the delivery of services for young people across the Watford district, working closely with young people including Watford Youth Council

The Watford Youth Strategy Partnership Group meets regularly to discuss the key issues affecting young people in the area. It then decides on what local action needs to be taken, both collectively and by individual organisations, to address these issues and help ensure young people in Watford have the very best opportunities available to them.

For further information about the work of the Watford Youth Strategy Partnership Group, please contact the Chair, Kips Green, on 01442 454060 or [email protected].
