INTRODUCING our Peer Action Collective Toolkit:
This resource has been developed by the Bradford PAC team as a practical guide for organisations working with young people.
It captures our learning from youth-led research and social action, with real insight into what’s happening on the ground and how to respond. From understanding barriers to taking action, this toolkit supports others to involve young people meaningfully in shaping safer, more supportive communities.

AND our Youth Forum Toolkit:
At Bradford PAC, we believe young people should be at the heart of the decisions that affect them and not on the sidelines. Through our youth-led research, one key issue kept coming up: young people don’t feel heard, especially when it comes to the barriers they face like travel, safety, or access to opportunities.
We’ve included what’s worked, what we’ve learned, and how our growing partnership with First Buses and the Bradford PAC team is evolving into something much bigger than a youth forum – it’s becoming a platform for real transformation.

The Peer Action Collective is a £5.2 million programme, which aims to give young people the chance to make their communities safer, fairer places to live.
It is funded by the Youth Endowment Fund, the #iwill Fund (a joint investment between The National Lottery Community Fund and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport) and the Co-op Group.
What do the Peer Action Collective (PAC) do?
All too often, young people who experience violence aren’t heard. But change won’t happen if they’re not at the heart of it. That’s why the Peer Action Collective (PAC) exists.
Funded by the Youth Endowment Fund, the #iwill Fund (a joint investment between The National Lottery Community Fund and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport) and the Co-op Group, the PAC is here to support young people to take the lead. It’s a ground-breaking network of peer researchers. That means that young people will be in charge of asking questions and finding out what needs to happen to make their area a better place for to live.
But it’s about more than learning about what needs to change. Being part of the PAC means young people will get support to take their research and turn it into action. From setting up a youth centre, taking action to improve local mental health services, or supporting more young people into employment – together, they’ll create opportunities for you to make their communities safer, fairer places.
