South Ayrshire Youth Strategy Launch
South Ayrshire Council's Youth Strategy will be launched on Monday 23rd of June in Ayr Town Hall. The Council has produced this Strategy because it wants to support young people to 'be the best they can be'
Key points are : to give young people a voice - enable them to influence the delivery of services that affect them - benefit from youth work services that make a real difference to their lives - supported by youth workers who can help them achieve positive outcomes in their own lives and those of their communities.
