This September marks the first meeting of the new Edinburgh Youth Issues Forum. The goal of the Forum is for young people to work in partnership with Edinburgh’s decision makers to influence issues that are important to young people in the city. And this means that young people play a key role in deciding the agenda for the Forum!
Edinburgh Youth Issues Forum
The Edinburgh Youth Issues Forum is a partnership with young people and the City of Edinburgh Council and its partners to discuss and influence citywide youth issues and services. The Forum is open to all young people in the city aged 11-21.
You will have the opportunity to take part in young person friendly events and consultations with partners such as Councillors; police and fire service, youth workers, NHS, and Edinburgh Leisure. For more information, click here
