Bios of youth groups attending
| Suffolk Wildlife Trust's Youth Board | Our Youth Board is the voice of Suffolk’s young people. We empower our members to take action for nature, get involved with decision making, and campaign for environmental issues. Youth voices need to be part of conversations about how we protect nature. |
| UK Youth for Nature | UK Youth for Nature is a network of 16 to 35 year olds from across the UK calling on the government to act on the nature crisis. We specialise in creative campaigns that facilitate positive conversations between young people and decision makers. |
| Force of Nature | Force of Nature is a youth-led non-profit that works at the intersection of climate change and mental health by mobilising for climate action. Through their free, research-backed programmes they help young people, aged 16-35, to feel empowered and develop the practical skills they need to take ongoing action. |
| Kids Against Plastic | Kids Against Plastic (KAP), was founded back in 2016 by sisters Amy and Ella Meek, at the ages of 12 and 10. Their mission is to empower young minds to tackle environmental issues while building skills and confidences. What began as a small campaign has evolved into a global movement inspiring youth. |
| Youngwilders | Youngwilders’ dual mission is to accelerate nature recovery in the UK and involve young people in the process and movement. They do this through managing youth-led rewilding sites across England and Wales, delivering a series of projects including practical volunteering, ecological education, a paid traineeship programme and annual youth summits. |
