Coming soon!!

Save the date Saturday 10th May 2025

This event will be hosted by young people

This is our tenth summit where young people have the chance to talk about things that are important to children in Wakefield.

There are lots of interactive workshops and interesting things to see and do.

We'll be asking if things have improved in Wakefield and what still needs to be done to make it a fab place to grow up in? This information will inform the new Children and Young People's Plan 2025-8

At our last summit we decided on 8 priorities,
here are some of the updates on what has been
happening:

could be done. We hope to be involved in the
plans over this year!
