We started our work on the L!STEN Youth Alliance back in May, with sessions starting with young people in June. Since then we have been working hard to set up our steering group, who have helped to establish the alliances identity and brand, organise the wellbeing event and set out the agenda for topics for discussion for the next year.
The Youth Alliance was set up to help gather and share youth voice across Stockport, and we will be aiming to ensure that this knowledge that is gathered is shared with people who can make a real change.
