What is this project about?

This project brought together children and young people from across Tower Hamlets to co-design a new name and identity for the Children and Young People’s Health and Wellbeing Service. As this is a service for children and young people, it was essential that they shaped it from the very beginning.

Through a series of workshops across schools, youth settings and community spaces, children and young people explored what health and wellbeing means to them, what they would want from a service, and how it should feel. They generated, tested and refined ideas for names and messaging, ensuring the final outcome reflected their needs and lived experiences.

As a result of this work, the service was successfully renamed: Young Health Hub (Tower Hamlets)A slogan was also developed: creating positive and healthy futures for children and young people

What did young people do?

  • Explored what health and wellbeing means to them
  • Took part in creative activities (e.g. word gardens, drawing, discussions)
  • Generated and shortlisted name ideas
  • Developed and refined slogan/strapline ideas
  • Reviewed and built on ideas across different age groups
