St Neots Youth Council

The St Neots Youth Council represents the voices of young people aged 11 to 25 in St Neots, Cambridgeshire. It provides a platform for youth to express their views, tackle issues that matter to them, and work together to improve our community. The Youth Council is dedicated to raising the profile of young people in a positive way, promoting and encouraging activities, events, and opportunities that enhance the lives of youth in St Neots.

The Youth Council plays an active role in advising St Neots Town Council on the interests and concerns of young people, ensuring that their voices are heard in local decision-making. In addition, they participate in national and regional initiatives such as the British Youth Council and the United Kingdom Youth Parliament, giving them a broader platform to effect change.

Beyond advocacy, the Youth Council celebrates the achievements and successes of young people in St Neots, while also representing those who may be at a disadvantage or unable to speak for themselves.
