Leaders Unlocked has been working in the Health sector since 2016. Our work enables young people to play a leadership role influencing strategic decisions, provision and research in relation to young people’s health and well being.
“Since 2016 Leaders Unlocked has worked with partners in the public and charitable sectors to investigate, engage and respond to the issues facing young people in relation to health and well-being.”

MH:2K enables young people to explore mental health issues and influence decision-making in their local areas. MH:2K was developed through a partnership of Leaders Unlocked and Involve. Following a successful pilot in Oldham, we received support from the Wellcome Trust to expand MH:2K to four new areas: Birmingham; Central Lancashire; Nottingham and Nottinghamshire; North Tyneside. Subsequently in 2019, MH:2K was also adopted in Derby and Derbyshire. Read More

"Leaders Unlocked has become a really critical partner. The great thing about it is the peer-to-peer aspect and the way the young people use their networks to reach out to a large number of young people. The reach has been phenomenal - across schools, colleges, hostels. We have dealt with many difficult issues, from stop and search to knife crime."
