ADHD Youth Voice: Greater Manchester Youth Network
There is an ADHD Youth Voice group for 2025 bringing young people together to have a say in the NHS services that affect them. It’s for 13 to 25 year olds with lived experience of ADHD, with or without a diagnosis.
Sessions are every last Wednesday of the month, 5pm to 7pm, at GMYN, Greenfish Resource Centre, 46-50 Oldham Street, Manchester M4 1LE, five minutes’ walk from Piccadilly Gardens.
The group is an exciting learning and development opportunity for young people, alongside the chance to make a difference in their community. It’s also a fantastic way for to build confidence, share ideas and meet others.
Contact Chloe Bettridge to find out more, chloe.bettridge@gmyn.co.uk.
If you are 16 and under, please ask your parent/carer to do this for you. Chloe is happy to chat with young people and their families before joining the group.
Here’s a video of Chloe introducing herself:

What young people have said:
- ‘It feels like people don't take it seriously these days - Oh, everyone has ADHD, don't worry about it - without considering the struggle you're going through.’
- ‘I've been fobbed off with medication - no coaching, no peer mentoring, no support groups.’
- ‘We want to feel heard. This is the only ADHD specific group I've ever come across.’
