Young volunteers at 42nd street have been consulting with students across Greater Manchester, with a focus on mental health, COVID-19 and being in further education. The research highlights the experiences of young people and issues that are impacting on their daily lives. Through the symposium we will share these findings and suggest recommendations for change in further education settings.
