We're delighted that the health inequalities subgroup of the NHS Youth Forum have been able to team up with AYPH charity to look into tackling young people’s health inequalities. Find out more: bit.ly/39ugq0Y

This survey closes at midnight tonight. Last chance for 16-25 year olds to inform the Bank of England on what is important to them.

What a great way for the @NHSYouthForum to finish their year - presenting at the NHS ConfedExpo and meeting Amanda Pritchard. So pleased and proud to have been part of the Forum's journey this year #youthvoice #impact

This is a really heart warming blog from one of our incredible youth forum members on their experience at the NHS Confed Expo and an unexpected meeting with Amanda Pritchard

It was wonderful to witness the dialogue between @NHSYouthForum and Amanda Pritchard. Totally agree with Amanda that young people should be round leadership tables providing insights and perspectives for more effective decision making.

Thanks to all the MYPs who made #UKYP22 so inspiring. It was a privilege to be involved and hear from young people on issues such as the climate, economy & mental health. If you are 16-25 & passionate about addressing systemic barriers to employment - we have a PAID role open....

Fantastic work from @NHSYouthForum on researching young people's views and experiences of digital mental health services. You can read their report to find out more.

Applications for this close on Monday. If you are interested or know anyone with relevant lived experience that would like to join the campaign to increase access to assistive technology in FE colleges please do apply or share. #youthvoice #accessandassistance

We’re hosting our new programme Access and Assistance for All at UCL. We’ve been discussing inclusive technology and digital accessibility. #accessandassistance #youthvoice

If you are 25 or under please do consider completing these surveys. The @NHSYouthForum really do have the ear of some senior policy leads and will be making recommendations and suggestions based on the feedback from these surveys.

And there we have it...Mission Accomplished!

I will be representing British Youth Council on Saturday, chairing a panel discussion on "Teaching for the 21st Century: Sustainability and Economics Education". I'm keen to hear from experts in new economic thinking about how we can do things differently. Join us: tickettailor.com/events/scottis…

📣 Do you want to improve digital accessibility in your college? Access and Assistance For All is a new student-led campaign to boost access to assistive tech in further education colleges. Join our launch on 20th June @ 5pm. All welcome! Register 👉 eventbrite.co.uk/e/access-and-a…

Please do join us this evening if you are interested in assistive tech and how it can improve learning outcomes, particularly for young people with learning differences and disabilities.

Govt has taken morally obscene decision to allow #Rosebank approval when Parliament is in recess to avoid scrutiny. Democracy is being undermined & our chance of a liveable future is under attack. Time to act. I'll be outside Department for Energy Security and Net Zero HQ at noon on Saturday. Will you join me?

It's funny how we all see politics differently. I think Medway belongs to the people of Medway and is not something to be taken. #listen #serve #democracy

The #councilclimatescorecards have been released. Medway Council scoring just 39% overall. With only 1% for transport but 83% for engagement. I was one of the 200 volunteers involved in this extensive UK audit and hope it can lead to improvement across the board.

We have a great line up for the Rochester Eco Hub Christmas Fair taking place on 18th November 10am-1pm. Please do spread the word!

It is very disappointing that this was tweeted hours before Michael Gove actually wrote to me. There will be a response sent before Christmas. In that response I will be clear on which party was running Medway Council from May 2003 - May 2023 and the progress made since then.1/2
