Wokingham

Wokingham District Council’s ListenUp! project is holding an end of term and beginning of the summer holidays BBQ for young people aged between seven and 19 years old to thank them for all their hard work over the past year.

Last year, Wokingham district council set up a new project called ListenUp! The project works with children and young people across the district to find out what they think about the area in which they live, and to make sure their ideas are being listened to when the council makes decisions about the area in which they live, work and study.

The BBQ has been organised to kick start their summer holidays - it’s taking place on Tuesday July 25 between 1.15pm and 3.15pm at 50 Reading Road, Wokingham (opposite Wokingham Youth Centre) and places are limited. Anyone interested in coming along, should contact Auma Obama-Manners on (0118) 974 6180 or txt her on 07944 615623. You can also email Auma at:
auma.obama-manners@wokingham.gov.uk.

There will be a BBQ, team building exercises and a tug of war. And there will be a creative workshop where the young people will be asked to design a poster for the ListenUp! project to use.

Auma Obama-Manners, children’s trust participation coordinator, said: “We want young people to come along, have fun, meet other young people and participate in lots of activities. It’s a chance for them to be updated on the ListenUp! project and hear about how they can make a difference to the services that the council provides. It will be a good chance to shake off their end of term blues. If you want to come along, book your place now!”
