🗣️ Young voices matter! The Youth Voice Census is now LIVE - your chance to shape the future for young people across the North East and beyond.

Are you aged 11–30, or do you work with young people? This short, anonymous survey lets you speak up about what really matters:
📚 Education & training
💼 Jobs & careers
🚌 Transport
💻 Technology
🏘️ Local communities
…and more!

⏱️ It only takes 15–20 minutes, but your answers could make a real difference. The more voices we hear - especially from those who aren’t always listened to - the stronger the impact.

Here’s how you can help:
✅ Share this survey with youth groups, colleagues, and networks
✅ Encourage young staff, apprentices, and trainees to take part
✅ Repost and help spread the word!

👉 Ready to have your say? Take part here: https://ow.ly/43X250Z0YuA

Let’s make sure every young person’s story is heard. Thank you for helping us amplify youth voices across our region! 💬

“The help I’ve received here has made me better and enabled me to become independent.”
- Young person living in Key’s supported accommodation

Stories like this reminds us why our Supported Accommodation service matters. At Key, we provide more than just a roof, we offer a safe, nurturing space where young people can build confidence, learn essential life skills, and take bold steps towards independence, each at their own pace.

None of this would be possible without our dedicated staff, who support and encourage young people every day as they work towards brighter futures. 👏

Together, we’re making a real difference for young people in South Tyneside. Be part of the change!
