Richard - Participation Worker for Children in Care and Care Leavers
I support children in care and care leavers to make sure that their their wishes are heard and understood by local decision makers. I run forest skills, arts and sports activities where you can meet other young people in care and talk about things that are important to you.

Emma - Voice and Participation Practitioner
As a Voice and Participation Practitioner, I am passionate about empowering children and young people to have a voice and make a difference. I work with schools, youth organisations and community partners across the district to help young people share their views, build confidence and influence the decisions that matter to them. Through the Build Our Futures Forum, I help ensure young people's voices are heard by decision-makers, helping to shape services, opportunities and positive change across the district.
