Neighbourhood Youth Forums
Want to speak out about the issues in your local area? Are you interested in airing your views about the services and facilities in your local area, as well as finding out more ways that young people can get their views and opinions heard by decision makers? Do you want to take action about an issue that you feel passionately about?
The next meeting of the Earley and South West neighbourhood youth forum is on Thursday 8th July at Silverdale youth centre from 7-9.30pm – this is for young people living or at school anywhere in Earley, Lower Earley, Shinfield, Spencer’s Wood and Ryeish Green.
And the next meeting of the Woodley and the North neighbourhood youth forum will be in September at Woodley Airfield Youth Centre – this is for young people living or at school in Woodley, Bulmershe, Twyford, Charvil, Sonning, Wargrave and Hurst.
The next neighbourhood youth forum for Wokingham and the South East (including Woosehill, Winnersh, Finchampstead, Aborfield, Barkham and Crowthorne) will be on Friday 9th July at Wokingham Youth Centre from 4-5.30pm.
