Our Voice—hospital youth club

Are you 11–18? Join our friendly youth club and share YOUR hospital experience

What is Our Voice youth club?

Our Voice is the hospital youth club which is a safe and confidential space for patients aged 11–18. Our Voice members come together to express their views and opinions about their hospital experience and work together to help improve the services available to them.

What sort of things will Our Voice do?

• Share experiences about being in hospital 
• Raise awareness about improvements that can be made in the hospital service 
• Act on issues raised in the youth club by creating campaigns, projects or raising funds
• Allow young people to work together and collaborate on projects
• Represent young people who are or have been in hospital
• Create a better hospital experience for young people aged 11–18

Who can join Our Voice?

Our Voice is open to anyone aged 11–18 who has been in hospital or has a sibling or friend who has been in hospital. It is also open to those aged 11–18 who aspire to a career in healthcare or are passionate about giving children and young people a voice. 

Where and how often will Our Voice meet?

Our Voice meetings will be held at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex Hospital. We aim to meet on a regular basis, with at least one session every half term. Refreshments will be provided. As a member you will be required to attend as many meetings as possible, but don’t worry if you miss a meeting.

What are the benefits of joining Our Voice?

Becoming part of this youth-led project will give you the opportunity to meet new people, have your voice heard and put your ideas forward. It will also give you the chance to collaborate with other young people on campaigns and projects Our Voice wants to take forward.

It is a great opportunity to develop and learn new skills as well as add something attractive to your Record of Achievement or CV.
