Youth-led podcasting plays a powerful role in helping young people develop confidence, communication skills and a sense of agency, while creating safe spaces for honest conversations about issues that affect their lives. By giving young people the opportunity to shape topics, lead discussions and share their experiences, podcasting supports emotional wellbeing, critical thinking and positive peer connection. Youth Unity CIC has been commissioned by a range of statutory and public sector organisations to deliver youth-led podcasting as part of wider early-help, violence prevention and wellbeing programmes, recognising its value as both a creative engagement tool and an effective way to amplify youth voice. Through these projects, young people are not only participants but contributors, helping to shape messages, challenge stigma and influence local services through authentic lived experience.
