Elevated youth

Elevated Youth Haringey is a youth council for young people aged 12-25 with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Elevated Youth works closely with the Wider Youth Council, participating in joint activities such as outings and sessions with political and local leaders.

The youth council empowers young people to share their voices, gain leadership experience, and influence change in Haringey, while also providing opportunities for connection, mentoring, and making friends.

The council meets monthly at Rising Green Youth Hub, where members connect over food and discussions that shape services and decision-making.

Examples of their work include visits to the Houses of Parliament to learn about UK democracy and shadowing key figures like the Leader of the Council and the Mayor of Haringey.
