Charity Patron

In April 2026 the Charity appointed its first Patron, Andy Slaughter MP. Andy is a seasoned parliamentarian and has served continually as a Labour MP since 5th May 2005. Following boundary changes in 2024, the Centre is located in Andy’s constituency of Hammersmith and Chiswick.

Andy chairs the Justice Committee and also sits on the National Security Strategy Joint Committee and the Liaison Committee. He is a very keen supporter of youth work in his constituency.

Andy will kindly help the Charity to navigate government policy on youth work, sign-posting potential funding opportunities and helping to expand our network of supporters. He will also support our regular engagement with local councillors and our key partner and landlord, the London Borough of Hounslow.
