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 sfyp.watford@hertfordshire.gov.uk.
