Our Young Healthwatch volunteers celebrated winning the Investing in Children (IiC) award! This was a great way to acknowledge their great achievements so far, alongside with their parents and carers.

This is a massive achievement for all the inspirational young people involved with Healthwatch Northamptonshire! Since its original launch in February 2015, Young Healthwatch Northamptonshire (YHW) has been making sure that young voices are being heard in the county with regards to health and social care.

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 commited to their human rights.
