The latest findings from the Greater Manchester #BeeWell survey has revealed a welcome boost in wellbeing among young people. 57,000 young people in years 7, 8 and 10 were surveyed, and The #BeeWell programme at The University of Manchester has now heard from more than 143,000 young people in Greater Manchester since it began, making it one of the largest studies of young people’s wellbeing of its kind anywhere in the world. It provides a powerful insight into how teenagers feel about their lives, schools and communities.
Each year the #BeeWell Youth Steering Group - made up of young people from across Greater Manchester – chooses the issues they believe matter most in the survey results. This year they highlighted three themes they felt were especially important: loneliness and the role communities play in tackling it, relationships with teachers and a sense of belonging at school, and whether young people feel they are gaining the skills they need to be prepared for life.
