Youth Board  

Angel Shed Youth Board was established in 2021 to embed youth engagement further in Angel Shed’s work, ensuring members are involved in decision making across all parts of the organisation.

Youth Board consists of 12 members, representing all four of Angel Shed’s youth membership groups (Youth Theatre 1, Youth Theatre 2, Music Collective, Dance Company).

Youth Board meet at least twice every term and discuss topics that are important to them - including workshops & performances, Race & Racial Equality, and Mental Health.

Decisions taken by Youth Board regularly lead to changes at Angel Shed. This has included changing how our projects run to include more time for research and development, and increasing young people’s involvement in backstage roles. Youth Board have been involved in the recruitment of new staff, designing marketing materials, and reviewing policies.

CREATIVITY DAY

Youth Board planned Angel Shed's first ‘Creativity Day’ last year and we are excited that the event returns later this month!
