Overview
Breakthrough voice is made up of previous and current Breakthrough mentees to act as a consultation group as well as continue to be linked with the Breakthrough project following the end of their placements.
We currently have 15 young people attending the sessions aged between 9 and 18 who engage in the sessions. The sessions are based around fun activity along with consultation on improvements to the project as a whole from a young people point of view.
During the sessions, as well as being consulted members of the group have also been part of a Breakthrough dvd, Breakthrough leaflet for young people and are currently working towards organision and supporting a training day for new mentors.
We have taken part in several activities as part of this including:-
• Sailing
• Go Ape
• Paintball
• Archery
• Assault Course
Our original aim was to have 10 – 12 young people take part in this group to push it forward. Long term we will be looking at setting up a second consultation group based on a younger age group 8 – 12.
