At The Young Londoner’s Participation Network at City Hall this week, notably attended by Joanne McCartney, Deputy Mayor for Education & Childcare (r) and Sarah Wills, Vision for Young Londoners (second left)
The Peer Outreach Team is remarkable – it is formed in part by Peer Outreach Workers (POWs) a group that was set up in 2006 comprising young people from across the capital that help influence the Mayor’s policies. The POWs are made up of 30 young Londoners aged 15-25 years old from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. They are commissioned by the Mayor to engage, inspire and gather the opinions of other young people in the capital. Their work helps shape the policies, strategies and services.
And we’re delighted to say that they’re one of the more recent groups to engage with and throw their weight of support behind Team Margot and the work that we’re doing.
Team Margot’s mission
To help save and improve lives by educating, inspiring and motivating people, especially from ethnically diverse communities, to register as blood, organ and stem cell donors.
