Partnership For Young London, alongside Youth Focus Northwest and Youth Focus NorthEast has been funded by NHS Charities Together to deliver a peer research programme looking at the challenges young people across the country are facing when it comes to health and healthcare.

Since the launch of the project in May, 14 youth change-makers across London, the North-East and North-West have been recruited and trained up in peer-research. Following their training, the youth changemakers have been conducting focus groups across the country, including the devolved nations.

As part of its ongoing efforts to address health inequalities among young people, PYL conducted a focus group with the Scottish Youth Parliament, attended by Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYP). The conversation centred around the various challenges young people in Scotland face regarding their health. Key issues discussed included how location, gender, and ethnicity have shaped these experiences, with participants sharing personal stories and insights.  See full blog here.
