Young people get their shout

Camden Youth MPs Samir Qurashi and Aya Elgool at the event - with the Mayor (L) and Martin Pratt, from Camden Council

Young people, youth workers, other professionals and local politicians joined Camden Youth Council's annual Shout Out event to hear the views of local young people.

Topics at this free youth-led event, held at the Crowndale Centre in Camden, on 2 May included the environment, mental health, jobs and careers and youth safety.

More than 80 young people joined workshops on their chosen topics, with feedback being shared at the end with everyone, as well as the announcement that youth groups are invited to apply for 'skills for life' grants from Camden Youth Council.
