CYP Now - #Chances4Children: Young people’s panel advise lottery funders on post-Covid 19 strategy

An advisory panel made up of young people is working with the UK’s largest funder of community activity to develop a support strategy for those affected by the Covid-19 crisis.

The panel is made up of young people aged 16 to 25. Picture: National Lottery Community Fund

The National Lottery Community Fund, which awards grants to projects across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, said it had been working with the Young People in the Lead (YPIL) panel for several months.

The panel of 12 young people, aged 16 to 25, had been picked from a selection process held earlier in the year and were all involved in National Lottery-funded community projects, the fund said.

Those chosen represented a diverse range of lived experience of social issues affecting young people across the country, it added.

If you haven’t heard, @TNLComFund has a new Young People in the Lead advisory panel.

All of the 12 members have lived experience with social issues affecting young people in England & we’ll be introducing each of them to you over the next 2 weeks.
