Hear what some of our members have had to say:

It's a brilliant experience to be amongst children and young people working our at a very practical level what is meant by 'empowering'. Overtime I have shifted from planning and running evenings for 6-7 year olds to taking a facilitating role where I support teenagers to organise themselves.
