It was fantastic to attend another inspiring Youth Assembly organised by Tyne & Wear Citizens at Kepier Hall.
I listened to students from Kepier and local community representatives speak with real confidence, courage and honesty about the issues affecting their lives and communities – like antisocial behaviour on the Broadway, mental health, and the support of Best Start Family Hubs.
Thank you to everyone who took part, including the Tyne & Wear Citizens Leadership Team and volunteers from Space4. Local voices matter, and it’s always important to hear directly from residents about the changes they want to see
