Locala and Youth Social Podcasts for Young People

Locala and The Youth Social recently joined together to create some health related podcasts. These podcasts focus on the Health and Wellbeing of young people. The discussions that we have covered so far are immunisation, vaping, sexual health and mental health. The platform also has content from other local organisations linked to careers and volunteering and also shares experiences of young people whom have faced great challenges. The platform has an editorial group that only includes young people to ensure all content is interesting or required!

Season 1 has been a great success. It was downloaded over 1200 times, has been used in college tutorials and has even helped unemployed young people get into employment. It was also used by a number of organisations to engage hard-to-reach young people.

Work on season 2 is well underway and the group have already identified a number of really interesting subjects to discuss – so watch this space!
