Be sure to check out our Youth Council website. Youth Council gives a democratic voice to young people aged 11 to 18 who have an opinion but no easy way to express it. The website is designed to give you essential information on the Youth Council and what we offer to young people in the district. In particular, it has its own budget for making grant awards to young people’s projects and talented young sports performers.
