Hassan and Lucy attended the 2030 Oldham Plan meeting to represent Oldham Youth Council and sign the pledge on our behalf.
Tonight we are creating suggestion boxes for schools to allow pupils to tell us what they want changing about Oldham. Looking at the images, do you have any suggestions? #theArtofYouthwork
The YCllrs who were part of this year's #ListentotheEarth project are collaborating with @OTWOldham members at our United People's Conference. As part of #HateCrimeAwarenessWeek, young people from across Oldham schools will be discussing prejudice and discrimination.

Woo hoo. Well done Ali and Hassan. Such a big meeting for your first one, but we're sure you'll smash it.
Tonight, Chris is supporting the #GMYCA meeting. It's the first meeting with @OldhamYC 's Ali chairing and Hassan on the leadership team. It's a big meeting with @AndyBurnhamGM answering questions.
Lucy and Leah took our motion, asking that the free school meals threshold be increased, that HAF be continued and that HAF be universal for all, to the @OldhamCouncil meeting. It was passed unanimously so @10DowningStreet will soon receive our letter.
Tonight, our @youthgreatermcr reps are standing in the leadership group and co-chair elections. Go luck to Ali and Hassan.
Congratulations to Ali who was elected co-chair,.and Hassan who was elected on to the leadership group of @youthgreatermcr

We would like to wish everyone a Happy #InternationalWomensDay
Although we have already come far in terms of equality, there still needs to be more equality. Whether that be more women in STEM, CEO roles, or even politics.
We are delighted to have the opportunity to express how important the environment is to our future, today at the summit!
Members of @OldhamYC open up the summit with a strong message on what they aspire their future to look like in #Oldham.
#GreenOldham
Our Youth Councillors opened the Oldham Green Summit this morning. It was great to speak to business leaders and Oldham organisations hopefully inspiring them to be the change we want to see in the world.

We wish Prem every luck in all of his future endeavours, especially after a really good two years as MYP.
Our DMYP and GMYCA elections will be held on Wednesday, where the MYP & DMYP for the next 2 years, and GMYCA rep are announced.
Unfortunately, it has been (a very quick) two years, but it my term has almost ended, and I am no longer MYP.
Alongside events and stuff I have done outside of Youth Parliament, I have:
🗣️Spoken in the House of Commons, about the quality of food, in November 2023
