Organisation: Kendray Youth Play Project, Barnsley
Issue: Developments to outdoor provision
The situation: The Voice and Influence programme helped give young people a say in the changes taking place in their neighbourhood. The Kendray Youth Play Project started in 2002 with a series of events to identify young people's priorities for the area. They wanted a place for activities such as football and skateboarding and somewhere to hang out and meet friends. Young people worked on the project for 18 months.
What children and young people said:
"There's a good outdoor space, but there's nothing to do in it. I've been involved in designing it to make it look better, to have more to do ... Now it's a design of what we want but could never have done before."
