Youth Board  

Angel Shed Youth Board was established in 2021 to embed youth engagement further in Angel Shed’s work.

Youth Board consists of 12 members, representing all four of Angel Shed’s youth membership groups (Youth Theatre 1, Youth Theatre 2, Music Collective, Dance Company). They meet at least twice every term and discuss topics that are important to them - including workshops & performances, Race & Racial Equality, and Mental Health.

Decisions taken by Youth Board regularly lead to changes at Angel Shed, including changing the structure and timing of projects, and ensure members are involved in decision making across all parts of the organisation. Youth Board have been involved in the recruitment of new staff, designing marketing materials, and developing policies.
