The Participation Team met with 7 young people, aged 16+ in Canterbury, to discuss the group and their aims. The young people explained that they wanted the space to be somewhere safe for them to be heard, and shared interests in sports and cooking. They explained some of the struggles they currently face with education and shared their goals for the future. The young people were very inspiring and we hope that this group will empower them to make a positive difference. Our next meeting will be in June. If anyone would like some more information, please contact VSK_Participation@kent.gov.uk.
