Calling all interested young people!

The monthly active involvement meeting has been developed to support all young people to express their views on their local communities. The idea is that we can work together to come up with solutions, and take active steps to inviting local councillors along to improve the City we live in. So far we have had four meetings, with a variety of different young people from different backgrounds. Whether you are from an AI team yourself in your local youth club, or just interested in making a difference, the meeting is held the last Thursday of every month at 6:30 – 8:30pm in the Town Hall.

So far we have had a few exciting developments, last month Mike Mead and Nathan Daly expressed their concerns with local housing issues for young people. It was decided that an action group of young people should be developed to go out and do some peer interviewing with young people in sheltered housing, what they feel should be better, and how things could change. If you want to be a part of this please contact the Young People's Office on 01733 317493

We have also started working with a few young people that are interested in making films, who are also looking for young people to take part in one of their first productions on young peoples involvement!! Watch this space for more information.

The Young People’s Office actively supports the monthly forum as a place for young people to affecting change directly, without all the jargon that comes in between young people expressing an opinion and it getting to the right places. If you want to be part of a dynamic, interesting project that aims to make a difference, then drop us a line at cu@ycp.info or phone 01733 317493 !! Or come and visit us on the 3rd floor of Midgate House, Midgate at the Young People’s Office.
