What does the Council do?
The aim is to empower young people and create safer spaces for them.
The council is made up of people aged 16-24, who want to make a difference in their community. It meets regularly online and in person with the aim of giving a voice to young people.
The work focusses on crime prevention and community resilience, previous councils have delivered projects on student safety, knife crime, and tacking anti-social behaviour. That could be through delivering events, social media campaigns, or meeting policy makers.
