Who we are
We are a group of young people who felt isolated and cut off from society. We met through NDTi’s rights based programme Time to Talk Next Steps.
We set up our own peer support sessions and got funding from the Young Gamechangers fund.
We aim to make sure young people who have faced similar challenges feel heard and valued. Everyone needs opportunities to participate in their community and decide on activities and decisions that affect them and their futures.
We must change the dynamic where non-disabled people speak on our behalf.
We are working with NDTi to design and lead campaigns for a more inclusive society.
What we do
- Challenge exclusive practices.
- Connect with young people who have faced similar challenges.
- Work with organisations to help young people’s voices be heard.
- Improve transitions for young people from school to college or other education.
- Encourage more disabled young people to get involved in activities and decisions that affect their futures.
- Provide training for professionals who work with young adults and children.
- Plan the online peer support group and in-person residentials and meet ups.
- Fundraise to set up more peer support.
