Get involved / get heard
The Voice and Influence Project supports young people in getting heard and changing things for the better in York. Get involved in consultations about young people’s issues, giving out funding for other projects for young people or campaigning to change something you care about.
Vote - it may only be every few years, but everyone over 18 still has a right to elect leaders both of our Local Council and our Government. If you are not registered to vote contact the Guildhall or register online at about my vote website. You can join the electoral register at any time, and if you are homeless.
If you’ve had experience (either now or in the past) of mental health problems and would like to make a difference to the way mental health services for young people are run, you can contact The Heard. They are a group of 16–25 year olds working to change things in York.
