Youth Panel

Who are we and what do we do?

Starlight’s Youth Panel is a group of 14–17-year-olds passionate about improving play in healthcare. Many of us draw on our own experiences of receiving care. Since launching in 2024, we’ve helped shape Starlight’s work, from reviewing the Play Well Box to judging the Health Play Innovation Awards and contributing ideas for this page. Young people are experts in their own experiences. Our insights help ensure Starlight’s services reflect what young people really want and need to make healthcare more fun and less stressful.

We meet throughout the year in engaging online and in-person sessions and are proud to be part of the Starlight team.
