Commissioned to produce one of the biggest surveys of young people in the UK. Insight was gained on a variety of subjects ranging from careers advice, jobs, health, democracy and Brexit.

In addition to surveying over 1500 young people, we also ran a number of focus groups to deep-dive further into the research.
