Maze Young Advisors Group (click here for more info)

The project has a group of young advisors in Somerset and one in Cardiff. They volunteer their time to help guide and shape the work that the project does. So far they have been actively involved in:

· Interviews for advocates where they ran their own panel

· Setting up and decorating the project meeting room

· Planning and writing the project website

· Commissioning and choosing a project logo

· Planning and writing a project leaflet for young people

Behind the scenes

Our project is run jointly by our two parent organisations Advocacy in Somerset and Tros Gynnal

We are grateful to the “Big Lottery” Fund:/www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/ who fund our service and to Somerset Community Foundation who funded this website through a Local Network Fund Grant.

We are also grateful to Pentangle and their young designer who redesigned our site for us to make it more accessible
