Young People
Are you 11-18 years old and live, work or study in the Malvern Hills District?
Do you want to have your say and make a difference?
We are organising an event to bring our local young people into a space with decision makers to discuss two important issues, decided on by young people through a ballot.
You decide on the issues, you speak directly to the decision makers about those issues.
The ballot will be going out to schools and youth groups in October/November 2024, and once the two issues are decided on, the event date will be organised.
If you would like to be a part of the Assembly event with decision makers, have your say and make a difference, click the ‘get involved’ button below.
For more information on the ballot and/or Assembly, please email

Futureproof
Thanks to young people's feedback as part of our 2018 Bigger Picture Survey, we worked with Malvern Hills District Youth Action Network (MHYAN) partners to develop the Futureproof campaign. Aimed at helping you to develop your skills, build confidence and feel a part of your community. Check out the webpage for more details and watch this space for more information on our 2023 campaign.
The Bigger Picture Survey- you said, we did
Young people remain a group that we consistently fail to hear from whenever we engage with our residents. We have been doing a lot of work to try and change that. Thank you to everyone that took part in our Bigger Picture Survey in 2022.

Following this survey, we will be working with our partners to develop actions that targeted some of the key issues young people have raised with us.
The last survey we did was in 2018 where we developed a four-year action plan.
