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.
In 2008 we consulted with over 5500 young people on subjects such as Poverty, Volunteering, Services for Young People, Living in Care, Drugs, Alcohol and Smoking etc. We have used a variety of techniques including group work, focus groups, questionnaires 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

Young people from 6 youth work organisations came together to discuss poverty, its causes and how they felt about poverty in the UK and within Sunderland.
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?"
