Change is Driven by Young Voices: The Work of Our Youth Advisory Board
At Winchester Youth Counselling, we believe the voices of young people matter. That’s why our Youth Advisory Board, a dynamic group of young people, many with lived experience, shapes everything we do.
Representing Diversity: Our Youth Advisory Board members come from diverse backgrounds, including the LGBTQ+ community, neurodiverse individuals, and those from minority ethnic groups. This ensures we truly understand the needs and challenges faced by young people in our community.

- Understanding young people’s needs and perspectives: They inform our decisions and ensure our programs and services are relevant and engaging.
- Developing and implementing impactful programs: Youth Advisory Board members participate in shaping new initiatives and improving existing ones.
- Advocating for young people’s rights: They champion youth voices at local government and community events, ensuring their concerns are heard.
- Encouraging young people to reach out for support: Youth Advisory Board members actively engage with their peers, breaking down barriers to seeking help.
