Care experienced young people from across the Yorkshire and Humber region  came together at Grimsby Town Hall for a regional voice and influence event hosted by North East Lincolnshire Council in partnership with the Youth Work Unit Yorkshire and the Humber.

The event created a space for care experienced young people to collectively discuss key areas of importance to their lived experience, as well as the wider context of the government’s new Youth Strategy, launched last month. Through a range of activities and workshops, young people were encouraged to share their thoughts, opinions and feelings about their local areas, along with what they expect from local services.
