Mayor’s Fund for London
The Mayor’s Fund pledges to support and encourage young people to engage in social action and to contribute to their local communities. We will do this by:
- Empowering young people to make a difference in their local communities through our social action programme City Pitch, through which schools are provided with funding and support to carry out their own projects on issues that matter to them.
- Actively encouraging young people to undertake work experience and voluntary work to increase their employability and life skills.
- Supporting our Youth Board to be proactive in developing their own projects to champion the youth voice.
We’ve just pledged to the #iwill campaign in February 2017, watch this space for our updates on how we do!

Quote from Charlotte Hill, CEO at Step Up To Serve
“The #iwill campaign is driven by leaders from across society who are committed to making youth social action a normal part of growing up in the UK.
We know that young people want to play an active part in improving their communities, and that in doing so, they develop their own skills for work and life.
Over 650 cross-sector organisations so far have pledged to support youth social action, and say #iwill. What will you do?”
