Young people’s survey – support and activities in your area

· ·

If you are aged between 11 and 24 years old we would like to hear from you about the activities and support in and around your local area.

This short survey will ask you about your thoughts on this. This is part of research being done by the National Youth Agency exploring support for young people.

We won’t be able to tell who you are from the questions, so please answer honestly. You do not have to answer anything you don’t want to, just skip questions.

Your survey response will be stored securely by the National Youth Agency, which works to support young people and youth workers. It will not be shared with anyone else.

To take part in the survey please click on the following link: Young people’s survey.

Transgender Awareness Week

· ·

Each year between November 13 – 19, people and organizations around the country participate in Transgender Awareness Week to help increase understanding about transgender people and the issues members of the community face.

Trans Awareness Week takes place the week before Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20. Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence that year.

Anti-Bullying Week 2025: Power for Good

· ·

Starting Monday 10 November….

Every year, bullying impacts the lives of countless young people and silence helps it grow.

That’s why, this Anti-Bullying Week, we’re empowering young people to use their Power for Good to safely speak up and raise awareness when they see bullying, face to face or online.

Lasting change needs all of us. From playgrounds to parliament, our homes to our phones — we all have a part to play.

Together, we can use our Power for Good to end bullying — for good.
