Young Community Researcher Project with SCVYS

Staffordshire Council for Voluntary Youth Services (SCVYS) and the University of Staffordshire are working together to support young people to have a say about the environment and what they think needs to change, funded by UKRI through the Community Research Network Fund.

Between March and July 2023, we worked with young people from across Staffordshire to build a strong network of young people’s voices that can help decision makers address climate change and environmental issues. 

So far members of the partnership team have been speaking to young people all across Staffordshire, including The Staffordshire Moorlands, Lichfield, Tamworth, Cannock Chase, and Stafford, with Burton and the South Staffordshire region.
