Our vision is for Britain to become the best place in the world to grow up and to bring up children.

We're an independent think tank and delivery unit working to improve the lives of children, young people, and families across the UK — with a particular focus on those facing the greatest challenges.

About Our Organisation

The Centre for Young Lives, was founded by Baroness Anne Longfield CBE in February 2024.

Our team combines decades of experience in Westminster, Whitehall and beyond with a relentless commitment and drive to breaking down the barriers that hold back some children, and to ensuring that every child and young person can thrive.

We use high quality research and evidence to advocate and campaign for innovate solutions and new models that improve the lives of children, young people and their families.
