Bright young Wokingham things go online
Youngsters with a host of bright ideas have been contributing to a website that will make their lives a whole lot easier: http://www.activeyouth.co.uk workers from Wokingham Borough Council and young people from around the borough have brought together their ideas about the issues that matter for 12 to 18-year-olds. Working alongside web designers Flare Imaging, they have created a site where all the information youngsters need is easily accessible.
The site includes advice on careers, good nights out in the borough, health issues and how to have a say in the way the borough is run – as well as useful tools such as help writing your CV, and useful links to other websites offering things like travel, safety advice and cinema listings.
Along with supporting youth workers the website’s main developers, Andy Galpin aged 15 and Ben Crowther aged 14, both from Woodley, are looking for young people to join them on the web team. Interested teens should contact Andy and Ben at active.youth@wokingham.gov.uk. Adults wishing to share skills in these areas are also invited to get in touch, using the email address above or calling Sandie Evans on: 0118 974 6267.
Executive member for Wokingham children’s services Cllr Norman Jorgensen said: “It is excellent to see young people putting their skills to such good use. The website is extremely professional and a credit to all those who have worked on it. I am sure that many more teenagers around the borough will find the wealth of information on the Active Youth website useful.”
