We are pleased to announce that young people across the UK will continue to have their say on the issues that matter most to them, following the announcement that the Government has appointed the NYA as the new body to run the UK Youth Parliament (UKYP) for 2024/25.

Children are passionate about making change - but only 1 in 5 feel like those in power listen. I'm taking their voices, views & experiences to politicians & policymakers with this challenge: listen, and act on what children are telling you. #TheBigAmbition childrenscommissioner.gov.uk…
Really sad about this. Young voices silenced means a poorer society for us all :(
The British Youth Council is sad to announce its permanent closure after more than 75 years of championing the voices of young people.

The team thoroughly enjoyed meeting @Essex_HS and his wife Nellie today. We explained the interventions and preventative work we are involved with across Essex in the fight to reduce serious violence. Thank you for making time to come and visit and being so interested in our work
An interesting one this, I wonder if you feel this is true for Essex?
