This report draws together the particular challenges facing families with children aged 11–14 who still often fall between youth initiatives and those aimed at younger children – proposing to complement existing strategies with new funding to pump prime developments. These ‘next generation’ services should appeal to this older age range, would provide enjoyable activities and great places to be, and enable parents to know their children are well looked after until they return home from work.
