Recognising and applauding the work of so many adult volunteer youth leaders he said:

“As Chairman of the London Assembly I’m delighted to host a celebratory event for London’s fantastic uniformed youth volunteers here at City Hall.  These unsung heroes transform the lives of thousands of young people in the capital. Come rain or shine we can rely on them to keep London’s uniformed youth organisations running like clockwork. Without them 4 million hours of activities per year could be lost. Thank you for the all the hard work, dedication and commitment in serving London’s youth.”
