PARTICIPATION & YOUTH VOICE
BwD Youth Forum
What do we do?
The YPS participation offer empowers young people from across the borough to influence and inform the decisions that affect their lives. The service supports young people to get involved in their communities and democratic processes locally, regionally and nationally, making a difference as volunteers, campaigners, decision-makers and leaders.
Young people are achieving this by being involved in our Youth Forum, takeover challenges and young people’s events. The BwD Youth forum meet every Tuesday from 6-8pm at Daisyfield Youth Centre*. The young people invite guest speakers to their meeting to discuss topics and influence decision makers.
*meeting place can vary - please contact Liz if unsure.
Get Involved!

I support young people to meet with decision makers to challenge decisions and hopefully make change happen. In my spare time I love walking, going to the gym, travelling and shopping. I have two children who are 11 and 9 and a dog called Nyah and a cat called ranger.
