Forth Youth Forum
Got an idea? Got an issue? Get involved!
The Forth 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 Forth 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 Forth NP.
Recently we coordinated a meeting for the Forth NP, which showed the brilliant contribution that local young people make to the area. The meeting was full of local community representatives, Councillors and other agencies like the Police and the Health Service who saw what we can do!
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 or phone Paul on 0131 332 6316.
