Our manifesto
Every year the HYC vote in a Manifesto. These important issues are chosen by the youth councillors to represent the priorities of the young people for the upcoming year, we try to do something positive to campaign on each point.
This year one of our manifesto points was ‘Looking after our Environment’. To action this we have had consultations with the RSPCA Mallydams and Naturebytes, and as a result of the brainstorming we did in these sessions, we are going to be collaborating with Wild Cost Sussex on a beach clean later in the month. Watch this space!
