On the 29th April, one of our Year 12 students Sophie Adams took part in a Teams call with His Royal Highness The Earl of Wessex and The Lord-Lieutenant of Tyne and Wear to talk about how Young People have maintained their volunteering and social action over the past year or so.
NSFC student Sophie Adams is co-Chair of Gateshead Youth Assembly and talked to them both about the projects Gateshead Youth Assembly have still managed to deliver despite being online.
Gateshead Youth Assembly is a group of young people, elected and nominated annually to serve as the ‘voice of young people’ in Gateshead. They are the strategic link between young people and Gateshead Council. The project is a partnership between Gateshead Council and Gateshead Youth Council but we are very clear, that GYA is independent and decides on its priorities with no influence from either organisation.
Sophie is studying Geography, Psychology and Sociology at NSFC.
