Sometimes, it’s the smallest acts of kindness that make the biggest difference.

A listening ear, a safe space, a word of encouragement or someone taking the time to check in can change the direction of a young person’s day, and sometimes their future.

This , we’re celebrating the youth workers and trusted adults who show up for young people, building relationships, offering support and helping them navigate life’s challenges.

At Oxfordshire Youth, we know that strong youth work is about more than programmes. It’s about creating the conditions where young people feel safe, valued and supported to reach their potential.

Because every young person deserves someone in their corner.

Small actions. Lasting impact. Brighter futures.

Young people deserve more than a seat at the table. They deserve the opportunity to shape the decisions being made around them. 💛

This , we're celebrating the power of Youth Voice and the youth workers, organisations and trusted adults who make it possible.

At Oxfordshire Youth, we believe meaningful participation goes beyond simply asking young people what they think. It's about listening, sharing power and making sure their voices have a genuine influence on the policies, services and decisions that shape their lives.

From our Youth Voice Champions co-producing research and influencing local decision-makers, to our Young Trustees helping shape the direction of our charity, we're putting young people at the heart of change.

Because when young people are heard, valued and empowered to lead, the impact reaches far beyond the individual. It helps build stronger communities and a better future for everyone.

Youth Voice isn't just about being heard. It's about having the power to make a difference.

Futures don’t begin in isolation. They grow when communities come together.

This , we’re celebrating the power of collaboration in creating brighter futures for young people across Oxfordshire.

From youth workers and volunteers to local organisations and community groups, every connection helps build a stronger network of support around young people.

At Oxfordshire Youth, we bring people together, share knowledge and strengthen the youth sector so that organisations can work collaboratively and young people can access the support, relationships and opportunities they need to thrive.

Because when we work together, we can achieve more than we ever could alone.

Stronger communities. Stronger futures.

It was particularly timely that Dr Jon Reid, Chief Scientific Advisor at the Local Policy Lab, and Dr Pooja Sharma joined our Youth Voice Champions during National Youth Work Week to introduce an innovative piece of work, putting young people in the driving seat of decisions that shape their futures.

It was a hugely valuable conversation and an exciting opportunity to put young people’s voices at the heart of policy development.

Our Youth Voice Champions have so much to contribute, and seeing them move beyond being heard to actively shaping, influencing and co-developing policy is exactly what meaningful youth voice should look like.

Reflecting on the session, Dr Jon Reid shared:

"These Youth Voice Champions are articulate, engaged, enthusiastic and well informed.

They accepted my invitation to pitch the Local Youth Policy Lab idea to them and kindly agreed to co-develop the idea.

I am really excited to be thinking together about how we might engage in research activities to influence local policy decision making."

🎹 The power of expression. A gift that will last for generations. Celebrating the people, opportunities and spaces that help young people find their voice, build confidence and realise their potential. 💙

System change starts with youth voice.

Young people should be more than participants in decisions that affect their lives - they should help shape them.

Katie Nellist, one of our founding Youth Voice Champions, embodies exactly why this matters.

Katie’s strength, determination and courage to challenge the system demonstrates the importance of listening to young people and ensuring their voices lead to meaningful change.

We are incredibly proud of Katie and the role she plays in championing a system that works with young people, not simply for them

Every young person deserves the opportunity to turn their aspirations into achievements.

This , we’re celebrating the power of youth work to create spaces where young people feel supported, build confidence and discover what’s possible.

Youth workers play a vital role in helping young people navigate challenges, develop new skills and take steps towards the futures they want for themselves.

At Oxfordshire Youth, we work alongside youth organisations and communities to strengthen the support available to young people across Oxfordshire, because when young people have the right relationships, encouragement and opportunities, they can thrive.

Together, we can help turn potential into possibility and aspirations into achievements.

Where futures begin.
