Youth Action Plan

In 2024, we worked closely with young people and the wider community to develop a draft Youth Action Plan for 2025-2029. This Plan is a roadmap to guide how we support, engage and empower youth in our area.

As part of this process, we heard from around 450 young people aged 12–25 through surveys, workshops, pop-ups and youth-led discussions. We also consulted with schools, service providers and local youth organisations to build a broad understanding of the priorities and ideas shaping young people's lives.

The Youth Action Plan reflects what we heard and includes a strong focus on mental health, the environment, creative expression, inclusive spaces, and youth voice in local decision-making.

We’re proud to have created this Plan with young people, for young people, and look forward to rolling out some exciting new initiatives over the coming years for young people.
