Youth Rising by NCS

Coming out, whilst staying in and the Lockdown Lowdown

Youth Rising is made by young people from all over England. For our 13th episode, we have strictly adhered to the UK’s Covid-19 lockdown rules, recording remotely to bring you stories from isolation. 

Firstly we look at coming out stories, focusing on ethnic minority families. Our reporters Lottie and Chloe talk to their friends who still haven’t told their families that they are gay and talk about how they are coping in lockdown.

We challenged some of the team to upscale items in their wardrobe for our isolation diaries. And if you’re stuck for something to listen to The Lockdown Lowdown is all about Music and Podcasts
