The NCLB YEar of youth action 2025
The recent Cheltenham young people’s report ‘In Their Own Words’ found that only 18% of young people felt their opinions are valued by adults and professionals. We want to change this! The NCLB partnership are placing a greater emphasis on youth voice for the next 12 months, working alongside young people to improve Cheltenham in a way that is led by them.


The ‘Year of Youth Action’ is focussed on the following themes:
- Mental Health and Wellbeing – Supporting young people to be resilient and live a positive, healthy and happy lifestyle.
- Safety- Supporting young people to be safe in the community.
- Digital Safety - Supporting young people to be safe online.
- Recreation and Opportunity – Providing opportunities for young people to engage in a diverse range of enriching recreational activities.
- Engagement and Inclusion – Supporting young people from all backgrounds to overcome barriers and engaging in positive activities.
