We are extremely proud of our young volunteers who keep inspiring us. Their desire to create positive impact around health and social care locally is a proof that their voices are truly heard, and as a result, awarded accordingly. With over 500 members, the Investing in Children is an organisation which provides research and participation services to other organisations that work with children and young people and is very committed to their human rights.
