The Centre for Young Lives, founded by Baroness Anne Longfield CBE in February 2024, is an independent think tank and delivery unit dedicated to improving the lives of children, young people, and families in the UK – particularly those facing the biggest challenges.
Our team brings decades of experience in Westminster and Whitehall and has a relentless focus on bringing down the barriers that hold back the life chances of millions of children and young people.
We shape an ambitious agenda for children, young people and families. Led by their lived realities, we produce fresh research and analysis, design, devise and test new models and solutions, and campaign for and deliver change through policy development and advocacy.
The Centre is hosted by Oasis, which builds stronger communities through its pioneering models of sustainable, inclusive, and holistic community development.
