Leaders message

People of all ages have been telling me there’s nothing for youngsters to do in our city. That surprised me. Since becoming Leader, I’ve seen first-hand a huge amount of good work going on. But I’ve also learnt it’s really hard for children, young people and parents to find out about it, easily, in one place.

That’s why we’ve launched Yo! Wolves – a new what’s-on-in-the-city guide for young people online. It’s also why the council has announced investment in activities for our young people.

We haven’t done this alone. The thinking behind the Yo! Wolves name, this website, the brand and activities were developed with young people. I’d especially like to thank the young people in the city that helped shape this project.

Please, please support Yo! Wolves. Young people are our future. We need to support them to give them the best possible start in life and the opportunities they deserve.
