The consortium, called the Young People's Health Partnership, has been awarded £200,000 to carry out work during 2013/14 as part of the DH’s Health and Care Voluntary Sector Strategic Partner Programme.
Led by the National Council for Voluntary Youth Services (NCVYS), the group also includes Addaction, the Association for Young People's Health, Brook, CLIC Sargent, Street Games and Youth Access.
They began working together on the programme after DH approved their business plan last week.
The consortium’s projects include investigating how to improve health outcomes for young people as they make the transition from child to adult health services.
They will also consult young people about their experiences of health services and share their opinions with the department, NHS England and Public Health England.
