In October, Riverside proudly supported popular youth conference Momentum 2015.

On Thursday 29 October, hundreds of young people gathered for South London’s largest youth conference in Croydon to support young people to move in a positive direction.

Riverside community engagement officer Wendy Mason said: “I’m delighted we’re a sponsor for Momentum again. It’s important to support youth work in our communities. Engaging with young people helps to improve our neighbourhoods and reduce anti-social behaviour.”

Young people, aged 10-19yrs, accessed information on career paths, training, CVs, volunteering, employment and took part in inspiring workshops throughout the day.

Later on in the day a live show hosted by Kae Kurd featured local talent, including an inspiring poem performed by the Young Mayor for London (Newham Borough), who captivated a lively audience.

You can see some highlights from the Momentum conference on their website.
