Centre based youth work plays a key role in supporting wider developmental outcomes, including health and wellbeing.

In addition to centre-based delivery, Providers are expected to incorporate virtual sessions as well as outreach sessions within the local community as part of a flexible and responsive universal offer. The YTH commissioned model is intentionally designed to align with and strengthen the wider Young Tower Hamlets service, creating a coherent and consistent universal youth offer across all wards. By combining inhouse delivery with commissioned provision, the Council seeks to extend reach, replicate high quality practice, and ensure that every locality benefits from strong, experienced youth organisations rooted in their communities. This mixed delivery approach allows YTH to maintain clear standards, broaden access, and build a borough wide offer that is both equitable and responsive to the diverse needs of young people.
