Youthwatch Gateshead and Newcastle

Calling all Young Healthwatch Newcastle Volunteers! 

Are you between the ages of 16 and 25? Do you live, work, or study in Newcastle? We’re currently recruiting Young Healthwatch Volunteers aged 16 to 25 to join our Youthwatch Project.  

 Here's what Youthwatch Project is all about: 

• Your voice matters: We're dedicated to gathering your views and opinions on health and care services. 
• Engage with us: We encourage young people like you to be involved in Healthwatch work. 
• Knowledge is power: Help us inform young people about health and care services available. 
• Be the change: Help develop projects to improve health and care services for young people. 

Attend our regular hybrid Youthwatch meetings. This is your chance to contribute to projects that will make a real difference in the lives of young people. Earlier this year we conducted a survey that received an overwhelming 245 responses from young people telling us their views. Your input helps shape our future projects! 

Let's meet some of our amazing Young Healthwatch Volunteers: 

• Iqra: With a passion for health and social care, Iqra brings multilingual skills and creates a welcoming atmosphere where everyone's voices are heard. She aims to empower those struggling to be heard and make a positive impact through her skills. 
• Kieran: Over the past two years, Kieran's interest in public health has led him to change his career path to the healthcare sector. Inspired by the pandemic, he wants to understand the impact on young people's experiences with care services. Kieran is eager to be a messenger for the community, expressing their feelings and needs during these challenging times.
