we represent the (brilliant!) young people of Shildon
the last issue of the yella is no.
15, from
Summer 2012
or
3 year, 30 week(s), 3 day(s) and 15 hour(s) old, we've already accomplished so much!
And we're nowhere near finished yet! We've just launched our new Community Chest
scheme, and we're actively working to find new projects in the area that we
notice other young people want to be sorted out!
what it is
The Youth Council was set-up by SCYPAN (Shildon's young persons charity) to give children and young people a voice in Shildon. We work closely with Shildon Town Council (as well as anyone else who can help!) to try our best to carry out changes or introduce projects that young people tell us they want.
So far, we've introduced new lighting into the Park, added sidings to preserve the Skate Park and make it safer, helped to organise the Young People's Awards and Shildon Young Voices events.
We've now finally installed our latest project, a "Youth Shelter" in the park; to give young people an enclosed area to relax.
NEW Hackworth Park > Youth Shelter Installed
NEW SYC > Community Chest
Hackworth Park > Skate Ramp Upgrade
Hackworth Park > New Lighting
Youth groups in Shildon can apply for up to £75 from the Youth Council, where their applications will be judged solely by the young people.
