Instead of a meeting, we had a Youth Mayor Making ceremony, for Hamra Hanif-Ali, the 13th Youth Mayor for Oldham. This occured in the Council Chambers at full capacity, with the following people in attendance:
- Hamra Hanif-Ali (Youth Mayor for the 2022/23 municipal year)
- Charlotte Clasby (Chair of OYC)
- Cllr Jenny Harrison (Mayor in the previous municipal year)
- Elaine Garry
- Three Youth Councillors putting forward their nominations for Hamra to become Youth Mayor for the municipal year.
- All other youth councillors, who unanimously voted for Hamra to be the Youth Mayor for the 2022/23 municipal year
- Friends & family of Hamra
Following the ceremony, there was a light food & refreshment service.
You can follow the Youth Mayor’s work on Twitter @Youth_Mayor and on Instagram @oldhamyouthmayor, both social media accounts now managed by the Oldham Youth Service. If you would like to get in touch with Hamra, please email the Oldham Youth Service.
