Young People

To connect, develop, and support our young people to live safe, happy, and healthy lives.

Young people are not only an important part of our future, but an integral part of our now. We are guided by three key priority areas:

creating safe, accessible, and relevant spaces and opportunities for young people to connect with each other and other members of our local community
promoting happiness by furthering the skills of our young people, professionally and personally, to equip them with strong foundations for future work and life
empowering our young people to live healthy lives by providing access to professional services, such as counselling, career guidance, education and training
