Willingham Youth Council will provide the young people of Willingham with a vehicle to ensure that their voice is heard regarding key issues and developments including the proposed Youth Centre and recreation facilities for the village.

The role of a youth councillor is to represent the views and opinions of the young people in Willingham, and to become involved in, and contribute to, the well-being of local young people and the wider community.

There are a lot of things that youth councillors may want to work with Willingham Youth Trust on, including new developments, sports and arts activities, jobs and businesses, and communication with residents. Youth councillors will develop leadership skills, gain confidence, get involved in decision-making and help organise youth and community events.
