This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference, be an advocate for other young people, and to enhance your employability skills. You will be able to claim reimbursement for your time and enjoy social events, too!

The first meeting will be in September. If you apply, Sarah Allen from the Cambridge Children’s Hospital Youth Forum will get in touch to book in a telephone or Teams call with you over the Summer to say “hello!”
