Young people across the Northern Corridor indicated their views were rarely considered, including with regard to Local Outcome Improvement Plan (LOIP) priorities. 

As a result, a consultation process was initiated by the Community Partnership Team for an initial six-months period. The issue of mental health support was raised as a key issue.  

Subsequently, the Community Partnership Team was able to access UK Shared Prosperity Funding to establish a Participatory Budget project within Chryston High School. Mental health was the main theme voted on to spend a £10,000 budget on relevant support projects.

Consultation sessions enabled the team to allocate the UK Shared Prosperity Funding budget spend, ensuring to use the Participatory Budget to address mental health, a key issue, as an additional positive outcome. 
 
As a result, children and young people have reported satisfaction with project delivery.
