Collection of photos and descriptions of organisations and individuals responsible for creating such a diverse, interesting, and positive collaboration of opinion pieces centred on driving young peoples' views on areas affecting them, both in the local community but also in the wider perspective of things.

Hopefully, these organisations can, in future, work with each other on different programmes to raise awareness of issues affecting young people, that they can work towards to change.
