Young People’s Forum
The Young People’s Forum was established as a subcommittee of London Wildlife Trust’s Board of Trustees, with the remit of improving its communications and engagement strategy for young people.
The forum met four times a year and was used as a consultation and ideas development panel, focusing on communications and marketing and engaging young people in nature conservation. In 2022, we cemented our commitment to youth voice by moving from the Forum to our formal Youth Board, which sits embedded in our governance structure.
Take a look at the achievements of the Young People’s Forum from 2018-2021.
- Creating the Wild Youth Hub; a digital resource with information and advice on conservation careers, mental health and wellbeing in the outdoors and social action in your local community.
- Advising the Trust on how young people can be better represented in youth involvement, governance and environmental policy in London.
- Developing the Keeping it Wild Year 3 Promotional Film
- Helping to create youth-involvement training, which was delivered to London Wildlife Trust staff.
- Forging links with the Trust's Senior Management Team and Board of Trustees.
