Participation groups for young people: opportunities to get involved and shape services in Torbay
Participation groups bring young people together to shape our community and services. They take part in collaborative projects, influence decisions and share their ideas, experiences and views.
In return we offer training and ongoing support, as well as recognising and rewarding their achievements and contributions. This means members develop confidence, leadership, and a wide range of transferable skills.
We have three participation groups for young people in Torbay, which run during the school holidays.
To join a group email one of our participation officers, or send them a message on WhatsApp on 07500 608141 or 07785 934552.
If you aren't keen on joining a group, there are other ways you can have your say and help shape services for children and young people. Share feedback about your experiences with Children's Services by letting our Point of You service know your thoughts.
We are always looking for opportunities to encourage young people to take part and help shape the services in Torbay. If you work in a school, youth group or sports club we can come along and share information about the groups. This could be as part of an assembly, or something more informal. Please get in touch.
