Inverleith Youth Forum

Got an idea? Got an issue? Get involved!

 youthforum

The Inverleith Youth Forum is a chance for you to have your say on issues that affect your life.

We can affect decisions made at a local level in the neighbourhood, all the way up to the the Scottish Government.

You can make a difference!

We look at all sorts of issues including:

  • Local transport such as buses and trams
  • Parks and Graffiti
  • Schools and after school activities
  • Healthy eating and smoking
  • Crime Sports facilities and clubs

We work closely with the Inverleith Neighbourhood Partnership, which works to improve the quality of life in the area. The opinions and suggestions of young people made at Local Youth Forms are important to the Inverleith NP.

What else do we do?

We build links with other organisations, to make sure the voices of young people are heard. We keep in touch with:

  • Pupil/student councils
  • Scottish Youth Parliament
  • Edinburgh Youth Council

You could attend meetings with these groups to tell them about your opinions and solutions to the issues that you feel are important.

Who arranges our meetings?

The forum is supported by youth workers from your local community learning and development team. To get involved and have your say contact Paul James or phone Paul on 0131 332 6316.
