Advisory Board
UKYCC has had an active Advisory Board for many years, giving members a two-way street for learning and mobilising around issues close to our hearts.
The Board saw a renewed energy in 2025 when we welcomed new faces; this now has four individuals with various professional specialisms, personal strengths and experiences, and visions for diversifying youth grassroots activism. Not only do our members benefit, the Advisors also gain further experience and connections through their participation in our impactful work.
If you’re interested in joining our Advisory Board, that is great news! Stay in the loop for when we next recruit via our Join Us page and social media channels. We look forward to hearing from you when recruitment next opens. To see our wider organisational structure, head back to About.

Eilidh Robb Advisory Board Coordinator
MoreEilidh Robb
Area of expertise:
“I’ve spent the last 8 years working to resist fossil fuels and industry influence across UK, EU and International policy, building up a range of skills in campaigns, strategy, facilitation, movement building, and leadership. I’ve worked in big NGOs, small NGOs, networks, volunteer organisations and philanthropy, bringing a broad scope of experience to the table.“
What are you most excited about?
“The climate (and broader left) movement is at a crossroads globally, our current tactics aren’t working and it’s in groups like UKYCC that I think we stand the best chance of re-imagining a new world and new ways to get there. What a privilege to come along for the ride!”
