To properly represent young people we decided
that we would need YOUR views on certain topics.
We designed a
questionnaire and have received over 400 replies from young people in the
District.
And the next step......we are setting up
a range of projects and activities to make sure we do something about the
issues you have raised with us.
Take a look at some of our past and
present projects on this page.

This is the page that gives you an
idea of what we get up to and all the events and projects we get
involved in.
Hammered! - a film for
young people, by young people.
We wanted to do something about the
issues of teenage drinking so we decided to make a film. We
included facts about how to deal with a drunk friend, when to dial
999, and what alcohol can do to your body. We attended film
workshops on how to use the camera and sound equipment and each of
us took on the roles of cameramen, director, producer and sound.
Some of us acted in the film and some of us wrote the script.
We learnt loads, had lots of fun, and have now distributed the film
to all secondary schools in the district with a special "teachers
pack" to go with it.
