AN event aimed at giving young people a voice will be held in North Swindon later this month.

The event, called Youth Matters, takes place on November 28 at the North Swindon Library from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.

It aims to give local young people a voice and an opportunity to interact with residents, councillors and council officers, raise awareness of existing activities available for young people in North Swindon, discuss what other opportunities young people would like to see in their area and identify projects and actions that can be done together as a North Swindon community.

A spokesperson for the North Swindon Locality Team said: “We have been fortunate to have a great deal of input in the planning stages from local young people and the event will be facilitated and supported by them too.”
