We’re hard at work tonight on planning for our big youth event next Thursday in Mosley Mill!! We have a lot to plan for the night and we can’t wait to be running the workshops we’ve made for the local youth groups attending.

Newtownabbey YC doing their bit for the community of Glengormley tonight by attending a litter pick. It was a great turn out by loads of local people and we’d like to thank members who helped out in the Baron Hall for keeping us organised and serving us yummy treats after!!

The Facebook pole from yesterday stating that “young people’s voices aren’t heard enough by people in power” came to 97% agree with a 3% disagree. There were 67 votes cast. Time to change that.

Young people’s voices aren’t heard enough by people in power?? This needs to change.

Great day out today at the #niyouthassembly in Stormont Hotel for workshops surrounding Social Media, Mental Health, Community, Education and Descrimination. Followed by this was a debate in the chamber room in parliament buildings where young people have interesting opinions.

Pizza and talks with the @AntrimPCSP tonight about problems involving young people in Newtownabbey and how they can be prevented. #pizza #NewtownabbeyYC #meeting
