Parenting Report. M13 ran a research project around Young Parents views and voices. An excerpt from the introduction:  "M13's small-scale research project explores the perceptions of a group of young mums from Manchester about the services they access and seeks to draw some conclusions from this about how services might be better designed and offered in order to enable young mums to maximise support from them.  The research was carried out by M13 Youth Project, a voluntary sector, community-based youth project, with nine years experience of offering befriending and holistic support to vulnerable young mums from a deprived area of Manchester. All eleven participants in this small research project were living or had lived in a Mother and Baby Unit, run by another voluntary sector organisation and had regular contact with M13 staff and involvement in M13 activities and support.  The research used a participant-led, qualitative methodology; with the support of a worker, a core group of 5 young mums discussed the research and issues and designed a questionnaire, which was then disseminated and completed by eleven of their peers. The findings are augmented by further information gained through interviews and a focus group discussion and then analysed. " a pdf of the report can be found here M13 Parenting report
