Peer Action Collective programme
Pure Insight are excited to be working with the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF), and the Young Foundation on their innovative Peer Action Collective programme
This research project aims to gain in-depth insights into the lives of young people who are in care, care experienced, or on the edge of care, and who are impacted by experience of youth (peer) violence, and how they can be supported away from youth violence. There are two parts to the work, in four phases over two years:
-
Research: Young people will lead every part, from design to analysis, to sharing findings.
-
Social Action: gives opportunity for young people to create youth-led projects and resources, raising awareness of their research findings with the wider community and decision makers to create local change and inform recommendations on a national platform, from what they’ve found. ​
The Youth Endowment Fund are particularly interested in the voices of young people who are often underrepresented and unheard. Pure Insight has strong links with care experienced people, the expertise and understanding to work with them and the desire to amplify their voices.
This provides a great opportunity for Pure Insight to be involved in a significant piece of research into youth violence, with tangible social action outcomes, and is a great way to further our work with Young People, to offer meaningful and interesting roles with plenty of personal development, and the opportunity to take them to their next stage in life.
Pure Insight need to recruit 10 new Young People as PAC leads to shape and deliver the research and social action work We’ll also need to recruit 500 Research participants, 50 Changemakers (YP aged 10-25) to help design and deliver social action) and 100 Social action participants (YP aged 10-25) to take place in social action). It’s going to be a busy two years, and we need your help!
​
Pre-project work: During late 2025 we’ll be recruiting 10 part time Young people PAC lead posts (see flyer, recruitment through September to early October), training and inductions, and team building.
