15 young people from 3 different Youth Action Group’s across the North East, participated in outdoor activities, inspiring motivational workshops and an opportunity to meet and consult with Home Group’s Director of Customer and Client Experience Nichola Grant, who consulted Young People on key Home Group Policies that have an affect on Young People in their neighbourhoods. Home Group’s first cohort of Youth Work Trainees planned and delivered the residential as part of their qualification and have done an amazing job!

Jenny Stabler, Youth Participation Coordinator for the Our Say Our Way project said ‘this has been a great opportunity for us to work with all of the Youth Action Groups at the same time and really make an impact on their futures. We worked with the young people to ensure they could fully participate in the consultation and as a result felt empowered to see that they could affect change within their neighbourhood’
