The Forum executive is very aware of the lack of facilities for young people, especially in lower St Leonards [Central St Leonards ward] and has a representative dedicated to speaking into Council and Government initiatives for youth provision. The outcome of around 12 meetings over the last year is an assurance of funds for the refurbishment of the Skate Park at White Rock in 2009/10.
Education and Young People
|
The Education and Young People Theme focuses on the benefits to the community from the involvement of the younger members of the area and the educational needs of both children and adults within the neighbourhood. The Education and Young People thematic officer of the Forum strives to advance key issues raised by the community to improve education, recreation and other facilities. A great achievement of the group has been to establish an area Youth Forum, where young adults can meet and present their views and opinions on matters that affect them. |
