Our city's youth have spoken 📢 YMCA North Staffordshire, in association with Keele University and University of Staffordshire, recently completed the biggest youth consultation that Stoke-on-Trent has EVER seen! We're proud to bring you some of the recommendations highlighted by the full report 1. Develop safe, clean, and inclusive public and green spaces Investment in welcoming parks and accessible communal spaces offers young people essential outlets for stress relief, social connection, and physical well-being. As many youth feel alienated or judged in existing public areas, enhancing these environments signals that they are welcome and valued. This could help tackle boredom, reduce conflict with authorities, and support mental health by providing safe spaces to simply exist without fear or stigma.
