Flintshire Youth Forum
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 organised a Youth Conference with Wrexham Youth Forum in 2007. 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 with interim Director of Education.
• 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 will be working towards the Youth Achievement Award.
• We are discovering new ways to get our opinions across.
