We were just entering our third year of our Young Grant-Makers programme when we went into lockdown. How has lockdown affected young people in Islington? How have their lives changed since the start of the crisis?
We asked Michelle and Freya, two of the Young Grant-Makers this year about it in a Zoom interview.
A little bit more about the Young Grant-Makers
The Young Grant-Makers is a programme in which a group of young people aged 17-24 from Islington come together to make funding decisions to support charities working with young people in the local area.
