RBWM Young People Survey 2023

1. Introduction

Berkshire Youth is a local charity that supports young people across Berkshire, mainly through our youth work projects & programmes.
To help us and our partners, e.g. Police, Parish and Town Councils and voluntary group, to provide services that are important to you, we need to hear from you.  It's only by listening to what  you've got to say, that we can understand the world as you see it, and make the changes to improve it where we can.

There are a maximum of 16 questions for you to complete, and your feedback will help us to understand where we need to put more resources or help.  The survey is anonymous, so please be as honest as you can.

If you have any questions, please speak to a teacher who will contact Berkshire Youth 

The survey is open until 12th May 2023

Any personal information you choose to provide will be kept confidential and used in accordance with our privacy notice.
