You don’t have to be a member of the Youth Council to come along to these meetings and find out how we work! – if you are interested contact participation@conwy.gov.uk for further details.
Conwy Youth Council is looking for new members in September 2010 to replace members who have either stepped down or have left the Youth Council.
Conwy Youth Council is a group of young people (aged 11 to 21ish) who aim to provide all of the young people who live in Conwy county with an opportunity to have a say on things which affect you. This is a great chance to meet other young people from Conwy and have a real influence on the way things are run in the county.
There are two representatives from every secondary school in Conwy and four representatives from Coleg Llandrillo. Members are democratically elected (voted on) within your school or college. We’re not necessarily looking for school council members to be representatives as they already have a lot of responsibilities.
Youth Council meetings mostly take place outside of school/ college time and usually take place about once a month.
For more information please ask your current school members, school council co-ordinator or contact Joy Chiplin on 01492 574119, by e-mail or by using our Contact Form.
Conwy is updating our plan for children and young people. We want to know what’s important to you! For an opportunity to have your say, fill in this questionnaire, and send it back to us on email or through freepost by 31 August.
If you include your name and email address, we’ll enter you into a prize draw for cinema vouchers.

The new year brings an exciting period for Conwy Youth Council with lots of possibilities and areas we are trying to develop.
These include work on:
- Anti-bullying
- Promoting positive images of young people
- Support for LGBTQ young people (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender and Questioning)
- Children & young people’s rights
We are now collecting back our questionnaires on how bullying is dealt with in Conwy, and how best to promote children & young people’s rights. You may have been given one by one of your reps or been asked to visit our website to fill it in.
Plus look out for our fresh off the printing press leaflets and posters at a location near you!
Every county in Wales has a plan for how we are going to work together to improve the lives of children and young people.
We developed a plan last year in Conwy. This is an update on how we’re getting on with making the plan a reality.
Conwy Children and Young People’s Partnership is made up of all the groups and services that are involved in the lives of children and young people in Conwy. But it’s also your plan – children and young people in Conwy – and has an impact on your lives and what’s available for you.
We have achieved lots of things in the last year. Download the document below to read some of the highlights:
Next meeting – next Monday 6.30pm at Colwyn Bay Youth Club.
See you there!
