On Monday, two of our Oasis Hub’s youth leaders attended the Young People on the Coast Summit in Westminster 🇬🇧

Delivered in partnership with the APPG for Coastal Communities and the Coastal Navigators’ Network, the event brought together young people from coastal towns across England to share their lived experiences directly with MPs.

Throughout the day, our young people took part in discussions with organisations including the RNLI and contributed to powerful, youth-led conversations in the House of Commons, speaking openly about the challenges and opportunities young people face in coastal communities.

They represented the Isle of Sheppey with confidence, honesty, and real leadership — helping to shape an important national conversation about the future of coastal areas.

Our young people shared some of their highlights from the day, including:
�✨ Being surrounded by others who truly understand coastal life and its challenges
�💬 Having the opportunity to bring their voice and represent their community
�🏛️ Experiencing Parliament — speaking with MPs and taking in the incredible architecture

They also shared that the day would have been even more meaningful if their local MP, Kevin McKenna, had been in attendance. They are keen to follow this up and share their thoughts and experiences with him.

We are incredibly proud of their contribution and the way they used their voices to advocate for change!

This is just the beginning of a wider movement to create better opportunities, stronger communities, and brighter futures for young people living on the coast.
