Events and activities for underrepresented groups exclusively

For example, some events could be offered specifically for young people, or there could be a business incubator for women only.

Why the contribution is important

Some people may feel more comfortable accessing support with people like them or who are from similar backgrounds.

    Seems like a good idea, but how will you make sure that everybody has a fair opportunity to contribute?

    This is a great idea, especially for the youth as most feel they are not part of their community.

    Definitely helpful, and needed.

    Most unrepresented youth ae really struggling with their mental health, unemployment and not getting appropriate support.

    This is a case of gaining their trust and opening doors of opportunities for them

    Thanks for your comment asarec85. Agree that mental health and unemployment are also issues that need addressing. This business support service will be linked in with our employment service which has a strong focus on mental health support as well.

    Is there anything in particular you think we could do to gain young people's trust in this service and encourage them to take up the opportunity?
