Kicking-off Summer, HP hosted an NHS-led workshop on the health rights and needs of young people, followed by a BBQ-social.
The young people learned about access to health and dental services, confidentiality and entitlements, and were proactive in questioning the speaker and contributing to research. One commented:
“I feel I understand the NHS offering so much better now, and I feel empowered by this opportunity to have my voice heard.”
In true HP tradition, the young people then prepared and cooked the BBQ food themselves. Staff guided them through safe food preparation and grilling techniques, building hands-on learning into the social, with traditional dishes including Iranian koobideh (minced lamb) skewers, saffron chicken, and marinated wings reflecting a cross-section of our diverse community – yum!
