5 entries will each receive a runner up prize of a £10 Amazon voucher.
Entrants were asked to design an eye-catching persuasive poster with images and graphics to encourage young people to join Youthwatch.
Youthwatch will build on the current work of Healthwatch Rochdale, specifically focusing on enabling the youth voice to be heard and will be made up of representatives aged 13-18 years old.
Our new Youthwatch will be led by the young people of the Rochdale borough and will help us understand the experiences of young people who use health and social care services and make sure that the youth of Rochdale have a say in how local health and care services are shaped. We launched our poster competition to make sure that Youthwatch was led by young people from the start. Our first Youthwatch meeting will take place in April and we are looking forward to working with representatives and helping to give young people a voice
