Kayley Harding as Youth Development Co-ordinator is now working on this! Kayley has worked with young residents to learn about the issues affecting them and to help them to work together to do something about it.
With the support of some very committed parents she has set up and supported Youth Wardens schemes in Plymouth and Torbay. These give children and young people in their local area a sense of pride in where they live, a chance to meet other children and to do something positive for their community! We aim to increase the number of Youth Wardens schemes throughout Devon and Cornwall this year.
Our Youth Wardens schemes have been highlighted as an area of good practice nationally so we are very proud of all our young people.
