- 64% regularly do educational activities.
- 40% regularly attend youth clubs.

Young Londoners are getting involved:

- 55% have taken part in at least one activity to influence a change in their area. More should be done to engage young people:
- 51% of those that haven't taken part say it's because no one has asked them.
- Only 7% that haven't taken part say it's because it wouldn't make a difference.
