The NGY ( Next Gen Youths) are a group of young people who travel from across the city every week to attend radio-training workshops and deliver a live radio show on the North’s leading youth music radio station, Unity Radio.
They join together while dealing with their own issues in order to produce a weekly radio show. This includes music, features and information on area issues that affect young people, such as mental health and wellbeing, education, training and employment and awareness of risks to young people. By creating peer-to-peer education and social scaffolding, they are helping to increase resilience among young people while safeguarding the vulnerable and at risk.
Established in October 2019, the Greater Manchester VRU is a team of subject leads and experts from Greater Manchester Police (GMP), Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), Greater Manchester National Probation Service, Public Health, NHS, Education, Community Voluntary Sector, Victim’s Voice, Youth Justice and Local Authorities, addressing the underlying causes of violence and working together with communities to prevent it.
