How It Is

Harriet Harman as Deputy Prime Minister speaks from a studio in Whitehall to a gang of young people from Peckham.

Launch Project

Young People

We train and support young people to articulate their views, and support them to discuss issues with adults at all levels – such as MP’s, Councillors, Police and Local Authority officers.

Understanding

While we all remember what it was like to be young, its often not easy to communicate to youth today in a way they can engage with and understand, particularly if you have a dry message to get across!

Whether its Stop and Search, Teenage pregnancy, consulting on how policies can be made more relevant to those they affect, our platform and trained youth presenters help to translate your views in a way that young people can understand and engage with. In return, through youth peer consultation and steering groups, the youth presenters represent the views of their peers, and will discuss them with you in a clear and articulate manner.

Radio packages/ Campaigns

Staff, partner organisations and volunteers work closely together to create radio packages/ Campaigns on issues relevant to their community. From 2 minute public information features to one-month anti gun and knife crime broadcasts, features are made from the ideas of the people they need to reach.

Peer consultation

We train people of all abilities to gather opinions of their peer group, through interview and recording techniques. On issues from regeneration to stop and search, volunteers interview and record their peers on pre-agreed topics. The results are gathered together and edited into an interesting audio package for radio or presentations, transcribed and presented to the relevant body.

Consulting

Do you want to use radio as a means of communicating more effectively with your community? We can help with advice and planning to make it happen.

Audience development

We work with a wide variety of volunteers in communities, developing them to create entertaining and thought provoking radio programming. Their shows become popular in their peer groups, giving them the respect and confidence to achieve more. The shows also become a vehicle for communicating with that section of the community, who can often be ‘hard to reach’.
