Episode 09

Young people leading organisations

Young people are leading organisations and taking different approaches to decision-making and power sharing which all organisations can learn from. In this episode we hear from four young people leading organisations and the challenges they face and what role they think older people can play in supporting them. 

In this episode, we hear from:

• Sophie Mattholie, Trustee of the LUNA project - a youth and lived-experience led disability charity that seeks to support and raise awareness of young people with chronic illnesses, disabilities and long-term health conditions.
