Our aim is to influence positive change within WSCC services whilst also having fun and making friends.

We meet every fortnight on Thursdays at 5.30-&7.00pm and our meetings are hybrid; in person and online.

It's not all work! We also have regular social meetings in person and these are planned with the young people based on their needs and interests. Some past socials have included craft sessions, meals out, bowling, board games cafe and crazy golf.
