On Saturday 24th November a group of young people have organised the 1st Wakefield Youth Conference (www.myspace.com/wakeyyouthconference) taking place at City Limits Young People's Centre on Thornhill Street.
The event is to establish a Youth Council for Wakefield which will then be able to lobby the full council ensuring that young people have an input on decisions made locally that will have an effect on them.
Food and refreshments are provided totally free, and it starts at 10.45am, and there are, amongst others, media, environment and drama activities taking place.
As CJ Cregg said in The West Wing (but probably someone else said first) 'decisions are made by those who show up' so I hope anyone eligible reading this turns up, and encourages others to do the same.
