Lundy Model Community of Practice

Part of the Youth Focus North West Network Day

About our Network Day

Join us for our Youth Focus North West (YFNW) Network Day, a quarterly gathering bringing all of our established networks together under one roof for one day.

Each network will meet in the same venue but run as separate, dedicated sessions at different times. Attendees are invited to book onto the network(s) most relevant to their role, interests, or area of practice, with the option to stay and connect with colleagues from across the region before or after their session. With multiple networks running throughout the day, you are welcome to book onto as many as are relevant to your role.

This format is designed to strengthen relationships, reduce duplication, and make it easier for colleagues to engage with multiple networks in one place. By hosting every network on the same day, we’re creating a more accessible, efficient, and energising way for partners to stay connected and informed.

YFNW Network Day is open to colleagues already involved in our existing networks, as well as those who may wish to join for the first time.

Please feel free to book onto any of the other Networks taking place using the following link:

• Voluntary Community Faith & Social Enterprise Network

• Voice & Influence Network

• Detached Network

• Cared 4 Network

• Standing in Solidarity

About the Lundy Model Community of Practice

The North West Lundy Model Community of Practice brings together practitioners who use the Lundy Model of Participation to underpin their work with young people. The network provides a collaborative space to learn, share, and strengthen practice, supporting organisations to embed meaningful youth participation.

What this network focuses on:

• Bringing together organisations that have embedded the Lundy Model into their practice.

• Sharing best practice, learning, and resources.

Who is this session for?

This session is open to colleagues across the youth sector, including:

• Frontline youth workers in Local Authority and VCFSE settings who want to understand how embedding the Lundy Model enables young people.

• Senior managers and key decision makers who have adopted or are considering adopting the Lundy Model as their preferred participation framework.

• Leaders and influencers who are able to act upon and strengthen young people’s voice.
