Youth Panel

Now Recruiting!

The Kelsall Wellbeing Hub Youth Panel is a new initiative designed to give young people a real voice in shaping the activities, services and future direction of the Hub. It creates a dedicated space where local young people can share ideas, highlight what matters to them and help influence decisions that affect their community.

​

The Youth Panel ensures that the Hub continues to grow as a truly inclusive space for all ages, while strengthening opportunities for young people’s wellbeing, connection and development.

What is a Youth Panel?

Group Study Session

The Youth Panel is a small group of young people aged 12–17 who live in or locally to Kelsall. Working alongside the Hub’s Trustees, Panel members will:

​

  • Share views and ideas on what young people want and need in the village

  • Help shape activities, events and services for young people

  • Provide feedback on existing provision

  • Represent the Wellbeing Hub within the youth community

  • Encourage wider participation from other young people​

 

This is a genuine opportunity for young people to be listened to and to help make a positive difference locally.

  • Meetings will take place approximately once a month at the Wellbeing Hub (or online if needed)

  • An adult facilitator will support the group

  • Agendas will be agreed in advance, with notes shared with Trustees

  • Members will serve an initial one-year term, with the option to reapply

  • Panel members will be encouraged to gather views from other young people, for example through surveys or by connecting with schools, youth groups and local organisations.
