Youth Talk 2016

Inverleith Youth Talk is a chance for organisations and service providers in Inverleith to chat to young people about your services, to network with other service providers and to explore potentials for new collaborative working with young people at the heart of this. We are bringing together young people and key adults to understand the outcomes to date and help shape any future actions for improving Inverleith area for our young people. The YouthTalk event will take place on Friday 11 March from 12.30 til 3pm in Saint Stephen’s Stockbridge

Inverleith: YOUth decides!

It’s here! ‘YOU(th) DECIDE!’01 JAN INP youth decide

You(th) Decide! is an opportunity for young people aged between 11 and 18 to tell us what they think needs to happen in Inverleith to make it better for young people, and have a say on how local funds are spent (writes INP’s Elaine Lennon).

Councillor Gavin Barrie, Champion of Inverleith Neighbourhood Partnership’s Young People’s Action Group, is asking young people to send us your ideas, and then, once young people have voted on their favourites, three projects costing around £1000 each will be implemented. Poster and proposal form here. Please pass on and help us get young people aware of this.

Spread the word! You can link to either the pdf (foot of page) or directly to the poster or form as jpeg on our noticeboard here:

http://www.edinburghnp.org.uk/neighbourhood-partnerships/inverleith/local-info/local-noticeboard/

Please tweet the info too to help us get the info out, and proposals in, by the end of the month. I’ll watch out for them and retweet them, and please use @north_team and hashtag #inverleithnp if possible.

Finally, as you’d expect, there are a few guidelines that we’ll need to follow to ensure that we are spending public money on appropriate projects. These are also shown on the proposal form, but are that projects must be:

  • be located within Inverleith
  • be of benefit to a large number of people
  • not have any ongoing costs
  • be open to all
  • be able to be completed by September 2016

It would be great if you can remind young people of this when they are thinking of projects to apply for, or when you are encouraging them to apply.
