Youth Voice

Putting the voices and experiences of young people at the heart of our work

Our Youth Advisory Group, supported by The British Youth Council, brings together a diverse group of young people from across England, aged 15-25, with unique lived experiences of the education system and transitioning through to the world of work.  

Sitting on our Board, we have Lizzie Beale - our first Youth Board Member, Mohammed Samir, our new Youth Board Member.
