I’m Megs, Newton Abbot born. I’m a very opinionated person and believe young people should have a voice. I first heard of Young Devon when I found myself out of education at the age of 16, and I joined Young Devon’s Princess Trust team. I learnt so much from that, and moved on to a job.
A few years went by and I was out of Young Devon and doing well for myself. All of a sudden, I was homeless and struggling with my mental health. Here I was, back with Young Devon’s housing team and in counselling. It was a full circle, starting with skills then moving onto housing and wellbeing. There was one thing missing: voice.
Someone saw that I was opinionated, and mentioned to me that Young Devon had a Youth Council. I joined Young Devon’s Youth Council, and the rest is history.
