The aim of the UKYP is to give young people across the UK the opportunity to air their views to local and national government and organisations that have an impact on young peoples' services. Torbay’s UK Youth Parliament Member will represent Torbay’s young people at the UKYP’s annual sitting, in Exeter this year.
The UKYP is all about addressing the big issues which affect young peoples' lives such as things to do and places to go, affordable public transport, bullying and sex and relationships education. UKYP is run by young people for young people and provides opportunities for 11 to 18 year-olds from all over the UK to use their voice in creative ways to bring about social change. They have over 500 elected members and thousands of supporters.
