The search is on for new members of Crawley Young Persons’ Council.
Thirty-six seats are up for grabs when the full membership comes up for election in March. And each one needs to be filled by someone aged 13 to 25 who wants to get involved in the future of the town.
The CYPC represents the needs and interests of young people in Crawley and makes sure their voice is heard. Members get to talk directly to the town’s decision makers and to help improve services for young people.
Last year, the Young Persons’ Council helped to organise many events including the Outset Volunteer Awards night at Liquid Envy, sponsored the Community Award for the Crawley Youth Awards, had an awayday at Blacklands Farm, the Band Stage at the Event in Southgate Playing Fields and supported Crawley Battle of the Bands. Members also launched their new DVD and redesigned the website – at www.cypc.co.uk – along the way.
The Crawley Young Persons’ Council elections take place from Monday March 15 to Saturday March 20. Candidates must nominate themselves. They must live in Crawley and be aged between 13 and 25.
Pick up a nomination form from schools, youth centres, Crawley Borough Council or the Connexions Centre in Queens Square. The closing date for nominations is Thursday March 4. For more information call Vikki Jacobs at Crawley Borough Council on 01293 438565 or email vikki.jacobs@crawley.gov.uk
