Lynk Up Crew
The Lynk Up Crew (LUC) is a group of young Londoners aged 7-15, who meet monthly to address the issues young Londoners face.
What is the LUC?
The LUC members are young advisers to the Mayor. Its members contribute to shaping policy and represent the often-unheard voices of young Londoners in the 7-15 year old age group.
The LUC are a good reflection of modern day London and its diversity, with young people coming from a cross-section of different areas, cultural backgrounds and religious beliefs.
What has the LUC achieved?
The LUC has worked on issues around the following:
- Children's rights
- Health & mental health
- Environment
- Education
- Bullying
- Families
- Labelling
- Drugs and alcohol
- Serious youth violence
The LUC regularly feeds back to the Mayor, with solutions and ideas around issues its members explore on behalf of other children.
In July 2016, the LUC was presented with the Diana Champion Volunteer Award. This recognised all the hard work the team has contributed, dealing with issues for their age group.
