Our newly elected Members of Youth Parliament for Suffolk visited Endeavour House for the first time, meeting with Sarah-Jane Smedmor, Executive Director of Children and Young People’s Services. The group discussed the issues that matter most to young people across Suffolk, including mental health support, SEND services, equality and climate action. “We had the pleasure of meeting Sarah-Jane, the Executive Director of Children and Young People’s Services for Suffolk, where we voiced our opinions on what we think should change and what is working well.” – Poppy
UKYP Suffolk MYP's First Meeting
The guys came together to cook lots of delicious food and share food from their culture to celebrate refugee week. It was great to chat about different cultures and use teamwork to bring dishes together. The food was fresh, and well prepared by all the guys! We used this time as an opportunity to promote our football tournament, which lots of the guys signed up to :)

very year in Suffolk we celebrate the achievements of our children in care with an award ceremony and every year we try to get somebody more exciting than me to help us hand out those awards and give an inspiring speech, in the past we've had people like Fatima Whitbread gogglebox stars rappers and last year we had the stars of traitors. So, this year we're reaching out again to try and find someone to come along and help us celebrate the achievements of Suffolk care experienced children. Every year somebody asked me, have you asked Ed Sheeran and every year I have to let them know that we have and although we always receive a lovely response, he's yet been able to make it or send them a good luck video The awards celebrate all kinds of achievements—whether that’s riding a bike, starting a new school, trying a new food, or helping out in their communities Every step matters, and it’s all of our responsibility to support children in care to thrive. Having you involved, even briefly or via a video would make such a difference and show young would make such a difference and show young people that they are seen, valued, and believed in. But don’t just take it from me… let’s hear from the people it matters to the most.
