L!STEN participants

"The Youth Summit gave me the chance to get my voice out."

"It feels like people are actually listening to young people—giving us a space to talk about what matters to us."

"I used to just do things and see it as an opportunity to put it on my CV, but now I see a problem and I actually want to change it. I’m going to take politics at A-Level because I want to make a difference."
