Introduction
The Our Voice Matters Survey is a chance for all young people aged 7 to 25 in Surrey to have their say on a range of important topics. The survey has been co-designed by a wonderful steering group of young people who have come together to decide on the topics and help design the questions.
The topics we are focusing on for this year's survey are:
- community
- education
- environment
- transport
- health
We know from our steering group, participation groups and the 2024 Make Your Mark Campaign results that these are all things that are important to young people across Surrey.
The purpose of the survey is for us to understand your experience of these topic areas and if there are any improvements you think could be made.
We will share what you tell us with leaders and decision-makers in Surrey to help create positive change for young people.
Those who complete the survey will have an opportunity to be entered into a prize draw to win an annual pass to one of the amazing theme parks in and around Surrey!
It is your future so help us shape what's next!
