Your voice

Have you heard of the “BYC”?

If you haven’t before, it stands for Burngreave Youth Council – young people elected to represent the views of other young people in Burngreave.

We want to know what issues are affecting you, how we can help resolve them and how we can work together to bring the issue to the attention of those people who CAN make a difference.

Whether it’s the dirty bus you go to school on, exam stress, litter in your area, or the lack of ‘chill out’ spaces, we want to know! Even if it’s something small, bring it to our attention and we’ll see what we can do together.

It’s time WE, the young people, had a say as to what happens in OUR community. So don’t miss out, you can either email us, burngreavestreetworx@sheffieldfutures.org.uk.

Or call us on 275 4842.

YOUR Voice YOUR Choice!!

Story: Zanumb Bibi

I was once like you, I felt like I didn’t have a say and if I had seen this article a few years ago, I probably would have stopped reading it after the first seven words, because I wouldn’t have believed any of it. Although, now I am a Youth Council representative, and am proud of the high status this opportunity has given me within this community.

Many people hold back because of their race, but at Burngreave Youth Council that is not the case. Here you can be black, white, yellow, mixed or even green. So why waste this opportunity? Go on, give it a go.
