Last Wednesday saw our first meeting of our new youth session ‘Young Activity Auditors’. This group of young people have come together to work on a project that will see them audit the activities that are available for themselves and other young people across the county with the eventual aim of creating a tangible product that will help other young people learn more about services for them.
We are also hopeful this will be the forerunner for a new Youth Council which will give our young people a further voice in our town
The young people came together to answer the question ‘what do you like most and least about Faringdon’ we also created a list of the skills we had within the group. We were lucky enough to be able to display these on a board with a wonderful sketch of Faringdon’s Folly that local artist Shelia Isabel Irigoyen did for us after we put out a request for help on local Facebook page ‘I live in the town of Faringdon’.
If you are a young person aged 13-20 and would like to get involved please get in touch with Rebekah Pugh (Youth and Community Officer) on 01367240281 or via email
