Will (15) and Cameron (13) are our two board members from the East of England and they were selected from over 300 applications.
Cameron is an enthusiastic Emergency Services Cadet and is keen to work with young people from different backgrounds while learning new skills along the way.
Will is passionate about helping others with their mental health struggles and is eager to begin his work on helping to create an environment where all young people regardless of gender, sexuality or race have equal and fair chances to make their way in the world and to always feel safe.
Their roles will see them raise awareness of what matters most to young people, and they will be able to take action and influence change, including having a key role advising staff and trustee members.
