  • Ep. 1: Series intro: Why share power with young people?
    Dec 4 2023

    Welcome to our new series, which focuses on the shift amongst youth organisations and funders towards sharing power with young people, drawing on our work with The Listening Fund which aims to make the youth sector more accountable to young people.


    In this episode we explain why we’ve made this podcast, give an overview of what we’ve learned about why and how organisations are involving young people in their work - with clips from some of the brilliant guests you’ll hear from in the following six episodes.


    The co-hosts for this series are Mercy Shibemba, a young grantmaker and activist, and Jenny Ross from Collective Discovery.

  • Ep. 2: Involving young people in designing services
    Dec 4 2023

    Youth organisations often work in partnership with young people to design their programmes and services - this is sometimes called co-production.

    We spoke to:

    • Alex Mckell, Head of innovation and trainer at Leap Confronting Conflict
    • Kate Russell, Head of Programmes and Network at the Foyer Federation
    • Gemma Rowan, co-Artistic Director of Sounds Like Chaos.


    This episode is part of our first series which builds on Collective Discovery’s work as Learning Partner of the Listening Fund.

    • Jeni Stephens, Youth Work Manager at Carefree Cornwall
    • Sarah Rose, a Social Purpose Consultant and part of the Collective Discovery team
