This event is open to all young people aged 11–17 who live or study in West Northamptonshire. It’s a fantastic opportunity to enjoy some cake while taking part in lively, youth-led debates and discussions with local councillors, MPs and senior officers from West Northamptonshire Council.

Access to youth transport and affordable travel
Mental health and wellbeing support for young people
Cost of living and how it affects young people
The need for youth spaces, clubs, and local opportunities
How can schools and communities work together better?
What can we do to promote equality, inclusion, and safety online?
How can young people have more say in local decision-making?
