SVSYF, on behalf of its members is committed to engaging with young people in the City of Sunderland to get their views on a range of topics and issues.
This year we have been busy consulting with young people on a variety of subjects including; Housing allocations and lettings, Privacy and consent on-line, knife crime, Anti-social behaviour, Safety and youth provision in Silksworth.
We have used a variety of techniques including group work, focus groups, questionnaires, MI-Voice on-line surveys and e-voting.
If you would like us to undertake some consultation work or research with children and young people please don't hesitate to get in touch with us by contacting

Using the e-voting equipment we asked 143 young people aged 12 – 20 years, "The Government has just announced that it will spend £190 million to invest in "world class facilities". What do you think we should try and do in Sunderland?"
