Every year the United Kingdom Youth Parliament (UKYP) holds a UK-wide ballot called ‘Make Your Mark’, where all young people, 11 – 18, can vote on what they feel is important in their lives and what they think Members of the Youth Parliament should campaign on for the year ahead. The UK Youth Parliament is managed by the British Youth Council (BYC), a youth-led charity which aims to empower young people across the UK to have a say and be heard.
This year Oldham Youth Council smashed all Oldham records reaching 17,130 young people, a 71.7% turnout. We have produced a report from the results of ‘Make Your Mark’ from the Oldham borough down to a school level and includes both the regional and national results. Check out the report and see what young people think is important to them.
