Our Youth Board

As part of our charity mission here at WYC, we aim to continue to build on our position as a youth-led organisation, advocating for positive outcomes in mental health for young people.

In line with our charity values, we continue to increase our community networks and partnerships, spotlighting our youth board. We will engage with the local and national community to examine and broadcast the importance of youth mental health.

Our youth board influences WYC decision-making, engages in key processes, such as strategy and governance, and reviews and advises on current services. They can take part in and create fundraising opportunities, collaborate with local partners, and assist with the recruitment of internal staff and trustees. Our youth board members are invited to staff events, including strategy days and professional/social team get-togethers.
