CForYourself: Youth Advisory Group takeover

In episode seven, Lucy has a virtual catch-up with Tilly, Rosie and Tehya from the Trust’s Youth Advisory group, otherwise known as YAG. They talk about growing up with CF, managing friendships, transitioning from primary to secondary school, navigating high school with CF and so much more.
We also hear from Ellie Mindel, Lead for Children and Young People at the Trust, to find out a little bit more about the YAG programme and how people can get involved.
