About your mentor
Southend Youth Voice Team
Supporting Young Change Makers in Southend
The Southend Youth Voice Team plays a key role in empowering children, young people, and families across Southend-on-Sea by ensuring their voices are not only heard, but meaningfully influence local decision-making. Based within Children's Services, the team works collaboratively with departments across Southend-on-Sea City Council, as well as with statutory and voluntary organisations, to champion youth participation at every level. We lead a range of youth forums including: - Southend City Youth Council - Cared for Children’s Council - Experts by Experience - SEND Youth Forum These forums provide young people with the opportunity to express their views, shape policy, and co-produce services that impact their lives. Through these platforms, we help turn young voices into real change for the community.

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
