Future Me are a team of young people from across Gloucestershire. Working with the County Council and Child Friendly Gloucestershire, our role is to be representative of young people across the county, sharing our insights into what it’s like growing up here – what’s good and what could be better!
We connect with other young people and can act as agents to allow them to share their views, experiences and suggestions. Topics we cover include Employment and Education, Mental Health, Independence and Community.
Information is power and we want to transform the way young people aged 14-25 years access information and inspiration to help them on the road to becoming adults. Preparation for Adulthood is both exciting and challenging and we want to support young people by sharing resources and signposting to organisations that can help.
