Young people from Cardiff City FC Foundation’s Premier League Kicks have been empowered by sharing their views on the issues that are affecting our communities, as part of the Premier League Youth Summit 2022.
Tuning into online, the Summit encouraged our participants to engage in discussions around equality, diversity, and inclusion.
The Summit brought together young people from across the Premier League Kicks community programme – including those taking part in one-on-one Kicks Targeted support sessions and the female empowerment activity of Changemakers. The participants involved also contributed to discussions on community safety and youth employment in Cardiff and surrounding areas.
Zac Lyndon-Jones, Head of Community Development at Cardiff City FC Foundation said:
“The Premier League Youth Summit is a great way for young people to be honest with their views and opinions and help shape the delivery and themes of our provision across the Foundation.
“It allows our young people to gain a platform where we can listen and advocate their important messages with our partners and stakeholders.”
