This confirms that there is pressing need for YoungMinds to increase its reach and impact. As the only charity solely focused on championing the mental health of children and young people, it is uniquely placed to ensure that everyone knows what role they can play in improving the wellbeing of UK’s young people. A new Strategic Plan was approved by the Board in February 2016 and the resourcing requirements of this plan will be reviewed regularly. The Board membership has been refreshed and I am delighted that the Young People’s Panel is growing and will have a direct influence on Board considerations as well as many other charitable activities. Every year at YoungMinds is busy and 2015-16 was no exception. Thousands of parents received high quality support and information; hundreds of young people took part in activities which raised awareness of the challenges they are facing and opened people’s eyes to what needs to be done to improve the services that are on offer; large numbers of professionals and agencies benefitted from the training and consultancy that YoungMinds provides.

ORCHESTRATED PUBLIC SPACE The Curatorial Dimensions Of The Transformation Of London’s Southbank Centre A. Jones Keywords: Public Space, Open Space, Curation, Southbank Centre, Ethnographic ABSTRACT Since 1999, London’s Southbank Centre, an assemblage of arts venues and constituent public spaces in central London, has been undergoing a gradual ‘transformation’ that continues to this day (Southbank Centre, 2016). In addition to works to refurbish the arts venues, this transformation has involved the renewal of the public realm between, around and (most infamously) beneath those venues. Using ethnographic data I seek to unpack the curatorial dimensions of the redesign and reappropriation of public space at this site. 244 1. INTRODUCTION A curious tension characterises contemporary This paper adds to a sparse but growing writing about urban public space.
