URBAN WISDOM is a 100% youth led project. A collective of young people with the core ethos being to ‘inform, empower and educate’.

We want policy and other experts to come and talk to us, we offer our perspective as a consultancy, and we advocate for the needs and views of the children and young people supported by Kids Company.

This site is a blog for the views, articles, statements, art work, poems, video clips and radio sessions made by the children and young people supported by KIDS COMPANY, and a platform for URBAN WISDOM to engage with you, the public.

All the views expressed on this blog are those of the individual young people involved in Urban Wisdom, not necessarily those of the whole group, and not those of Kids Company!
