Redbridge Youth Council

Join the council and make a difference to your Borough

Are you:

• fed up with feeling like there's nothing for young people to do?
• think nobody ever listens to your views?
• wish you had more control over what happens in Redbridge?
• aged between 11 and 19 and living and/or studying in Redbridge?

Then come and join the Redbridge Youth Council.

Get involved

Join the council and make a difference to your Borough. We want to give young people aged 11 to 19 in Redbridge a say on the issues that matter to them and a chance to have their voice heard. As a member of the Youth Council you will get involved in a number of our campaigns. Some recent campaigns include raising awareness of mental health in schools, writing guidelines for schools about sexual harassment and looking at raising awareness about gang and knife culture. You do not have to be elected to be a member of the Youth Council, just come along.

We regularly meet with councillors and officers as well as representing young people on a variety of forums in Redbridge. The Youth Council meets most Mondays from 5pm to 7pm at Redbridge Town Hall in Ilford Committee Room 2 unless otherwise stated. We usually meet at the side entrance of the Town Hall from 5pm.

Our next Youth Council meeting is on Monday 18 June at 5pm.
