raising awareness of domestic abuse and bringing new funding for addressing the issue by lobbying
institutionelle Zusammenarbeit
Young people’s views not only informed the progression of Riverside youth service locally, on a micro-level, but also informed macro-level change through direct lobbying of government to raise awareness of domestic abuse and bring new funding for addressing this issue in Scotland. Involving young people in service development helped create a bespoke youth service.
