Youth Panel
Our Youth Panel plays an active role in selecting and deciding which projects we undertake.
The Youth Advisory Panel is a body of young people and young professionals who have been beneficiaries of the Charity. The aim of the YAP is to identify issues that impact on young people and to play a strategic role in meeting these needs. Youth Advisory Panel meets on a bi-monthly basis and is made up of five elected members who are selected by their peers. The chair of the YAP sits on the Management Committee and the YAP supports the activities of the Board of Trustees and Project Management Team in the design of the Charity’s programmes and activities.
