Young people invited to make voices heard in community discussion
National research study wants to hear from people aged 18+ in Boston Castle
Young people are being invited to share their experiences of living in a Rotherham ward to contribute to a national research study into youth activities in the local community.
Rotherham Safe Space is working with Mental Health Matters and Fortia Insight on a national research project exploring how government investment in youth activities can boost the local community.
A spokesperson for Rotherham Safe Space said: “We’re looking for local people aged 18+ who live or spend time in the Boston Castle ward to join a small, friendly and informal discussion about the local area, opportunities for young people, community safety and what helps communities to thrive.
“Your experiences and perspectives will contribute to a national research study exploring how UK Government investment in youth activities can support stronger, safer communities.
“There will be two sessions both around 90 minutes each and these will be confidential and anonymous
“No preparation is needed and interpreters can be arranged – just tell us your needs when you sign-up.
“Your views can help shape thinking about youth provision, guests can meet and talk with other local residents and everyone who takes part will receive a £20 Love2shop voucher as a thank you.”
The sessions are taking place on September 28 at 10am and 12.30pm at Rotherham Safe Space, Milton House, 77 Sheffield Road which recently celebrated its second anniversary of its free, out-of-hours mental health crisis prevention and emotional wellbeing service.
