"In 2011 a study commissioned by CVS North into the creation of a youth exchange programme highlighted the lack of opportunities available to young people in the area. It emerged from the consultation exercise that a desire existed amongst the young people to play a lead role in the creation of opportunities and activities for themselves.
As such the Sutherland Partnership in collaboration with CVS North and VGES is proposing a Sutherland wide Youth Summit to give young people the change to discuss what opportunities they would like to develop in Sutherland.
We are in the process of consulting with young people and have presented our ideas to the Sutherland Youth Forum. The Highland Youth Voice Rep’s suggested we develop a questionnaire in order to gather opinions and they have offered to help disseminate it. This and future consultation with young people will inform and shape the Sutherland Youth Summit."
