Children, Young People and Families in Ipswich
Children, young people and families are at the heart of Ipswich’s identity, growth and success. We value their contributions and are committed to making Ipswich a great place to live, grow and visit.

We share the community’s aspirations for a city where all children, young people and families:
- Feel valued and included, with opportunities to have an active voice in their community
- Grow up in a clean, healthy environment, with strong connections to nature
- Live healthy and active lives, supported by access to good nutrition, welcoming environments and opportunities for physical activity
- Have equal access to affordable activities, services, information and learning opportunities
- Experience local culture, participating in and learning from Ipswich’s diverse cultural life
- Enjoy safe, welcoming places, including public spaces and community facilities
- Can live, work, play and thrive locally, close to the people, places and services that matter to them
This vision reflects our commitment to supporting children, young people and families, today and into the future.
