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.

Sarah - Voice and Participation Practitioner
I work with children and young people across the district to hear what they have to say and help them make a difference in local, regional, and national decisions that affect them. I team up with Wakefield Youth Council and Youth Parliament members to plan and run campaigns designed by young people, for young people. Together, we make sure your voices are heard and your ideas shape the future!
