During the year ended 31 January 2026, London Metropolitan Forum CIC (LMF) continued to promote a collaborative and participatory approach to the development and delivery of its activities. The organisation engages young adults, mentors, directors and partner organisations who share its vision, uphold its values and contribute to its community interest objectives. Young executives play an increasingly central role in the leadership, day-to-day operations and delivery of LMF’s activities. They are actively involved in planning, organising and managing programmes and events, contributing fresh ideas, taking responsibility for operational decisions and helping to shape the organisation’s future direction. Approximately 90% of LMF’s events and activities are led and managed by young adults, providing valuable opportunities for practical leadership experience, skills development and personal growth. This approach is supported by the guidance and oversight of LMF’s mentors and Board of Directors, who provide supervision, strategic direction and accountability. This governance framework enables young executives to take greater ownership of the organisation’s activities while ensuring that decisions and operations remain consistent with LMF’s vision, values, governance responsibilities and long-term objectives. Regular meetings and consultation sessions provide opportunities for young executives, mentors and directors to review progress, discuss proposed initiatives, address operational challenges and identify areas for improvement. These discussions encourage open communication, shared learning, innovation and accountability, while ensuring that the perspectives and needs of young adults remain central to the organisation’s work. LMF’s collaborative leadership model has helped strengthen young people’s engagement and sense of ownership, while supporting greater transparency, communication and organisational capacity. It also provides a framework for developing future leaders by enabling young executives to gain practical experience in teamwork, project management, decision-making and stakeholder engagement, with appropriate support and supervision from experienced mentors and the Board of Directors. LMF remains committed to strengthening this model of youth participation and leadership, ensuring that young executives continue to play a meaningful role in steering and operating the organisation, supported by the experience, guidance and oversight of its mentors and Board of Directors.
