At Fullscope, we work alongside charities supporting children and young people, across our network, one thing has always been clear: fun matters. Not as an optional extra, but as a vital ingredient in building trust, enabling learning, supporting wellbeing and helping children and young people thrive.

Over the last twelve months, Our Voices has continued to grow as a space where young people in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have their voices heard and influence the mental health system.

How can we hear from younger children about ‘what matters to them’? This was the question the Integrated Neighbourhood Team in East Cambridgeshire were interested in working with Fullscope to explore.

Fullscope are working in partnership with East Cambridgeshire Integrated Neighbourhood to learn about what matters to young children and their communities.

Over the past year, Fullscope has been working alongside a group of young people to create an online resource, Help You, Help Them. Read about the project, what we did, and what we’ve learned.
