NEW
at the moment we're working with many groups in Shildon and the Town Council to create a REAL Youth Council for Shildon. This Council will be run by young people who will have to power to make real decisions and changes in the town, using their own BUDGET, for example. This council is formed from kids from schools who live in Shildon (Including King James and QESFC, for example), and the schools will nominate or ELECT young people to be part of the council. After being elected by other young people they will act as representatives (like the adults do now) to make changes young people want them to (within reason, of course!). We'll tell you more as we know it.
we're always looking for new 'youngsters' (kids!) to join and help us with our work.
if you join you can come to fornightly meetings to work on our latest projects
and be invited to our fun special events free of charge!
... for kids! and it's written about four times a year...
... and it's sent to every home in and around Shildon free of charge!
