At Hartlepool Youth Service we work with young people aged 13 to 19 (and up to 25 for those with lifelong learning difficulties) to create meaningful resources that reflect the issues that matter to them. These projects are 100% led by the young people, with support from our youth workers to turn ideas into action.
Examples of projects led by young people

- Wellbeing in schools: Emotional wellbeing handbook
- Youth Voice Hartlepool: Wellbeing in schools report
- Service awareness: Anti-bullying campaign
- Holocaust Memorial Day 2021: Stand together packs

- Illustrated story book: HMD - Beans: The Story of Bert the Bean
- Illustrated story book: HMD - The Moon that wanted to be the Sun
- Postcards designed by young people and artist Bethan Laker: Hartlepool Postcards
