Your views will be shared with people who have the power to change things, ensuring they include what young people in Hampshire and Southampton really want. Everything you tell them is anonymous.

The survey is 23 questions around youth clubs and activities, wellbeing, feeling safe, social media, your views and about you. It should take around 5 minutes to fill in. Submissions close on 30th June.
