Activities for children and young people in Southwark

Overview

We would like you to help us set the priorities for spending on services and activity for children and young people to make sure that the money we spend goes towards the things children and young people want and need.

Background

Southwark Council offers a range of activities for children and young people*, including adventure playgrounds, football coaching, pool and table tennis, art sessions, and day trips, many of which are free. Some of these are currently run by council staff and others by voluntary sector organisations. Like most council services, the money we have to run these activities has been reduced as a result of government funding cuts, but we do still have a significant budget to spend in this area.

*Please note, services for children under five are funded separately and are not part of this consultation.

Future Activities

We want to make sure we are spending this money in the best possible way, to benefit the greatest number of people. Before we make any decisions on how we use this money we want to find out what you think. Please complete the survey and let us know what matters to you.

What happens next

Thank you for your interest but the consultation has now closed. The results and our next steps will be published here by December 2016.
