Fearless Youth Panel
Do you want to know more about our Fearless Youth Panel?
Read some of our FAQs below to learn more. If you have any questions we've not answered, you can email us at Fearless@crimestoppers-uk.org
The Fearless Youth Panel is made up of young people aged 11-17 from across the UK who volunteer their time to help us shape the work we do . We talk about all things Fearless, asking for your feedback and input to ensure we are delivering the best service for young people.
Some of the things we cover are;
- Social media content creation
- Ideas for campaigns
- Opinion on local crime issues and emerging crime trends
- Ideas on how to reach and engage with young people
We cover a wide range of crime topics such as knife crime, County Lines, Hate Crime, Anti Social Behaviour and many others.
No, the Fearless Youth Panel is a volunteer role.
All members of the Youth Panel receive a Fearless hoodie and some other Fearless merch.
The Fearless Youth Panel meets online 6 times a year to discuss all things Fearless.
We also have an Instagram DM group where we ask for input in-between meetings, typically around content creation for social media posts.
No, you can be a member of the Youth Panel and not feature on our social media posts or website.
However, if you like to create content for social media and want to feature then we would very much welcome your input.
- Are you aged 11 - 17?
