Youthwatch is your chance to make a difference to health and care for other young people in Manchester.

Things we achieved in 2019 include:
• Accessible Information Standard compliance visits to Manchester’s Pharmacists
• Collaborated with local partners in the Be Bothered campaign to create the Young Carers Know Your Rights booklet. 
• Began work on our Student Mental Health resources project.

We can use our influence through Healthwatch Manchester to make sure our voices are heard and acted upon by the planners and decision-makers in this city. You can join the group at any time.
