Young People’s Steering Group

Our youth work as a distinctive educational practice founded on a voluntary relationship with young people and shaped by their agendas.

Our Young People’s steering group – sits alongside our Trustee board and ensures that Outreach youth continues to meet the needs of LGBT*Q+ young people.

We are currently working with young people attending our LGBT*Q+ youth groups to plan the way the steering group will work, what it will do and how young people can get involved.

We are asking them the following questions:

Question three

How will we know that the Young People’s Steering group is making a difference?

They have said:
