Just posting details of a project running in Torbay;

'Hidden Voices Heard' are running a research project in Torbay with 18 to 25-year-olds. They are looking to speak with 20 young people who live in Torbay.
This is for young people who may be:
• currently using drugs and/or alcohol
• in recovery
• not wanting support / not ready for help right now
The goal of the work is to better understand what life is like for 18–25-year-olds today, and how services can be designed in a digital world , including what “digital” means for young people who aren’t actively online or don’t have easy access to a smartphone.
Everyone who takes part receives a £25 Amazon voucher as a thank you for their time.
🗓️ The project runs until 14th February and has space for 20 participants.
