PAC Young Voice Group
With thanks to some funding from The National Lottery Community Fund we have launched our Young Voice Group at PAC. The group has been set up to ensure that we are putting our young people at the centre of our decision making and development. The group will meet regularly to discuss the development of PAC and also have opportunity for Peer Support and social activities/incentives which they can plan themselves. If you or a young person you know are aged 12-18 & would like to be involved in this project then please get in touch.
Meetings are usually on Mondays 4pm-5pm but please get in touch with jenna.sutherland@pac-therapy.org to register interest and find out more details.
Young Voice Art Competition 2025
The PAC Young Voice Group invited Young People aged 7-25 in Cumbria to contribute to our 2025 Art Competition. The theme of the art competition was ‘Express Yourself’. This was an opportunity for young people to express their identity, feelings, hobbies, worries, favourite things or own ideas through artwork. Entries were used in our Spring Pop Up Exhibition in The Lanes, Carlisle.
Below are some examples of the entries which are shared with permission from the young artists.
Thank you to everyone who got involved, we were SO impressed with the standard of art!
Young Voice Pop Up Shop 2025
Our Young Voice Pop Up shop was held in The Lanes Shopping Centre, Carlisle in April 2025. The space was used to collaborate with other charities and organisations that provide support for young people so that we could share information about projects and activities that young people can get involved with in our area.
Thank you to the National Lottery for supporting our Young Voice work and making this possible. Also huge thanks to PiNC (Pride in North Cumbria), Carlisle Key, Tullie House, Bee Unique Autism Charity, Spiral & Birds of a Feather for their time and support with this project. Main thanks go to the Young People who get involved with enthusiasm and dedication!
