Very Important Kids (VIK)

VIK is a smaller group of children and young people, representing kids across the country, advising YoungMinds and a lot of other organisations.

VIK represents the people on Healthy Heads and makes sure their voices and opinions are heard. It meets every 8-10 weeks to discuss issues raised by Healthy Heads and by themselves.

We train kids who are on this panel or board, to make sure they can contribute fully to the discussion.

There are 15 children and young people who sit on the VIK board 2007 – 2009. In 2009 we will appoint 15 different young people to sit on VIK.
