Mission statement: Gaining confidence to tackle issues, voice opinions, whilst making friends and having fun. You want it we got it!

“Coming together to make a difference.”

What we’ve done:

·        We organise Youth Conferences. All the issues raised were taken to the Flintshire Young People’s Partnership, so they could do something about them.

·        We go on residentials to plan the conferences and discuss issues raised by other young people in the community.

·        We have made a DVD to promote Extending Entitlement - It will be shown in schools in Flintshire, so keep an eye out for it.

·        We attend the Young People’s Partnership meetings to help get young people’s voices heard and to make changes.

·        We work on lots of different projects, like a drumming project and ‘Castaway’.

·        We have full representation on Funky Dragon.

·        We have been addressing issues such as education, leisure, stereotypes, money and bullying.

·        We run mini consultations with other young people in Flintshire through the Youth Clubs.

·        Going out and having fun – Pizza, ice-skating.

In the future we plan to:

·        We will continue representing the Young People of Flintshire.

·        We are discovering new ways to get our opinions across.
