Youth Forum
Your Voice is
needed!
Almost 25% of
Forest Heath’s population is under 18 and therefore has no vote and
no voice. However, we value the contribution young people can
make to our community and want to listen
to young people's ideas and opinions.
We
want to give all young people who live in the Forest Heath District
the chance to have their voices heard. We are currently setting up
a Youth Forum where a group of young people will meet
no less than 6 times a year, to discuss your
ideas and opinions that affect the community you live
in.
If you want
to get involved contact us by
email youth@forest-heath.gov.uk or call 01638 719295
Also, look out for information
posters displayed in your school
soon!
