Ep. 8: Sharing power changes organisations

Listen on

Episode notes

Sharing and ceding power to young people can be challenging for organisations and the people who work within them. 


In this episode we hear from three very different organisations that have made a clear commitment to sharing power with young people. We hear about how they adopted new structures and processes to support power sharing as their organisation grew. 


We spoke to:

  • Catherine Hillis, Director of the Fairer Futures Programme, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation
  • Ann-Marie Douglas and Nicola Kidston, Co-CEOs of Peer Power Youth
  • Michael Lister, Chair of the Mix’s Youth Advisory Board
