West Sussex Youth Voice Group (south/coastal area)

What is the event?

An accessible session for young people to have their say and help services get better at what they do. Our meetings are relaxed and friendly . The group is for young people aged 14 to 25 who have an 'additional need'. Friends, brothers and sisters are welcome to come along too. Young people with a wide range of talents, abilities and interests are welcome - please let us know if you have any particular needs so we can make sure you get the most out of the group. We welcome PECS and Makaton users , just let us know so we can make sure we prepare materials properly for the session. Sessions include games/activities to get to know each other and arts activities to have your say in a fun way. Food and drink provided free of charge - usually sandwiches or pizza, please let us know if you have dietary requirements . Meet new people, have fun, have your say and let the people who make the big decisions know what you think. All sessions and events are free.
