2017 was a good year for the Alliance for Childhood in London with the launch of the London Forum and the work with members of the GLA and others to bring a child friendly element to the Mayor’s new structural plan; the Child in the City conference; the initiative to hold a conference for young people organised by young people and the production of our newsletter. Thank you to everyone who made all this possible. The work will continue in 2018 and we wish you all a successful year in improving the quality of childhood for all children.
