Tracy Cross, Communications and Marketing Director at Lichfield District Council, said: 

"At Lichfield District Council, we strongly believe in empowering our young community members and giving them a platform to voice their thoughts, ideas, and concerns. 

"Councils are often not seen as interesting places to work but Maddison and Harry's enthusiasm and dedication to this project have been inspiring, and together with George Beesley from the Communications Team they have worked hard together to bring this to life. We are thrilled to see 'Voices from Lichfield District' launch and we hope many people, of all ages but especially our younger adults, tune in, engage, and participate in this powerful platform."

Maddison Hart said:

"We want 'Voices from Lichfield District' to become a platform where young people can find relatable discussions and valuable insights into the issues that matter most to us. By amplifying the voices of our generation, we want to foster a stronger sense of community amongst young people in our district – and have some fun whilst we are doing it."

Harry Dean said: 

“We are also really pleased to launch the podcast so we can announce our competition. Are there any budding musicians and music writers in the district who would like to write the music for our podcast? We have some stock music in there now but we want something special and something younger people will like and we would love it to be written by someone local.
