Young People in the Lead Wales Advisory panel talk about Mind Our Future HD

In March 2020 we recruited 10 incredible young people from across Wales to work with us, to design and carry out research into the issues that matter to young people in Wales, with support from ProMo Cymru and Ministry of Life. As part of their research, the Young People in the Lead Wales Advisory Panel have been reaching out to young people across Wales and asking them what matters most to them and what keeps them awake at night. We have also been listening closely to public and third sector organisations that support young people to find out what they’re hearing from young people. Together with the panel, ProMo Cymru and Ministry of Life we followed up our research with a series of co-design sessions to discuss what we had all learned. Based on what we heard from young people, we agreed that £10 million of National Lottery money will be used to fund projects aimed at helping young people’s mental health and resilience, and that young people should take the lead in imagining and creating a more resilient and mentally healthy future as society rebuilds and recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
