 Young people from across Worcestershire are being invited to quiz their political peers during a summer roadshow. 

The Worcestershire Youth Cabinet and members of the UK Youth Parliament (UKYP) are heading out into the community to get to the bottom of the issues that really matter to the young people of worcestershire.

Young people will have the chance to questions their representatives during a variety of dedicated workshops taking place county-wide.

“Whether there’s something really bugging you, a cause you feel should be celebrated or if you simply want to find out how you can get more involved in local politics – we want to hear from you.”

 ”This is a really fantastic opportunity for young people across Worcestershire to get their voices heard. “

  • Do you have something to say about being a young person
  • Is there something you would change if you had the power to do it?

This is for anyone between 11 to 18.  If there’s nothing to do in your area or you feel adults don’t listen to you, then do something about it!

This is your chance to stand up and be heard……

If you are interested in the Worcestershire Youth Cabinet or the UK Youth Parliament then everything you need to know is on this website.  You currently have the chance to vote for the candidate who you want to represent you.  Whoever is elected will speak to County Councillors and other decision makers, on behalf of young people across the county.  Therefore it is important that you get the chance to have a say on who you want to be your voice!

We are sending official ballot boxes, lists of manifestos from each candidate and ballot papers across the county to schools and colleges.

We will also make sure that there are open access voting stations that anyone can go along to and vote, such as youth centres.

If you would like to vote, or know of a place that would like a ballot box, please just give us a shout and we will organise this for you asap.  You can get hold of us on 01905 827489.
