Hear what children and young people think!

Children and young people want to see:

A Fairer Swindon

CYP are shocked by the health disparities and clear discrimination towards certain groups. CYP from these groups want to be understood and have their needs met.

Affordable Support

CYP are limited by what health support they can access simply because of the financial barriers. Particularly in relation to dentist appointments, healthy food, and positive activities.

Wider Training

CYP want to see their family, friends and teachers trained in understanding and supporting them with their health needs (particularly mental health needs).

Wellbeing Support

CYP need mental wellbeing support that is quicker and easier to access. In addition, this needs to be long-term with time to build trust, tailoring the support to each person.

Positive Activities

CYP have great ideas for positive activities impacting physical and mental health (sport, music, arts). However, this needs to be locally based and affordable.
