Our Voice

The ‘Our Voice’ podcast series, delivered by 13 to 16 year olds, looks at topics including does identity matter, is there enough LGBTQ+ representation in the media, what would I do if I was PM and how safe do I feel?

The conversations are honest, engaging and an insight into the thoughts of young queer people
