About Us

We are YWF’s team of young people aged 16-25. We all live or study in Westminster and we are passionate about making a difference! We want to help make Westminster a better place for our friends and families.

We meet once a month at Victoria Business Library – a chance to meet new people and learn skills from research, to social action to podcasting. We help the Foundation by going out and speaking to other young people about what it’s like to grow up in London, supporting each other to speak up on issues we care about.

In 2023 our Young Ambassador programme is focussed on becoming Peer Researchers. The Peer Researchers trained to create and carry out a research project aimed at understanding how young Londoners felt growing up in Westminster as well as how to advocate on the issues we’re hopeful for, we’re angry about, and our ideas for the future of our community.

Currently, the Youth Ambassador programme is undergoing a revamp and applications are now closed. We will be sharing the new programme with you soon. Keep updated via our social media platforms Instagram and X(Twitter).
