CAMPAIGNING work by dozens of Hampshire youngsters has been recognised.
The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Youth Commission brought together young people, the crime commissioner, Hampshire police and stakeholders at a conference.
It recognised the campaigning work undertaken by Youth Commission members on issues such as mental health, cyber safety and hate crime.
Members ran stalls with games to engage delegates and they were asked to make pledges on how they could support the commission’s work.
Michael Lane, crime commissioner, said: “At this conference, the Youth Commission has challenged us to have new ideas and join them on their campaigning. These young people are determined, thoughtful, and bright; they do valuable work and they encourage us for the next generations behind them.”
This is a good day and explains why the Youth Commission are such a high priority for me.”
Over the rest of the year, the Youth Commission members will be working to promote their priorities and support young people in getting their voices heard.
Young people can register their concerns, views and ideas with members online.
