We design strategies that change lives through youth-led co-creation

Make (Good) Trouble drives change by working in partnership with young people, giving voice to their stories, understanding their experiences, and using that knowledge and insight to transform lives at a personal and societal level.

Our vision

To empower every child to feel included, to belong.

Our values

Co-operative

We work hand-in-hand with young people, giving them a voice, and agency to create change for themselves and their peers. We partner with government agencies, local authorities, NGOs, universities, schools, public health bodies, commercial clients, youth workers, and families to build better communities.  

Transformative

We drive change – in attitudes, outlook, and in society by looking for new ways to approach our research, our projects, and campaigns, never accepting the status quo. 

Impactful

Everything we do is designed to make the world a better place. Every project we do informs the next one. We measure, evaluate, and go again.

Rewarding 

Every young person we work with is rewarded. This means having someone who truly listens to their stories and uses them to make positive change, it means being trained to develop new skill sets, and being properly remunerated for a day’s work. We are accredited to offer young people RSA Cities of Learning digital badges endorsed by City & Guilds, in recognition of their work with us. To date we have awarded 119 badges to young people in recognition of their amazing work.
