#BeeWell Youth Steering Group

What is the #BeeWell Youth Steering Group?

The #BeeWell YSG meets at least once a month to help shape and guide aspects of the #BeeWell programme. The YSG decided the name, logo and identity of the programme, along with deciding the most important findings from the 2021 #BeeWell surveys.

In the summer of 2022, the group began to write their first manifesto – setting out plans for what they want to achieve as a group and what they want to be known for. 

The group pledged to… 

• Put in effort to make sure young people have a safe space to speak 
• Prepare younger and older generations to be open minded and inclusive
• Help people to be comfortable with and figure out who they truly are 
• Spread awareness of mental health for future generations 
• Advocate for adults to treat young people equally and with respect

In the past year, the group have also commissioned two responses to the #BeeWell data, to focus on activities that encourage physical activity and community belonging.

Working with the #BeeWell Youth Steering Group, together we have developed the top 5 #BeeWell findings for Greater Manchester, read more here.
