Our campaigns

Each Member of Youth Parliament runs a campaign during their two year term, supported by the Deputies and Advisory Group.

The elected members of Somerset Youth Parliament each run a campaign for their two-year term supported by their Deputies and the Advisory Group. Their work allows us to understand what changes young people want to see in the communities they live in: and it gives us a mandate to make sure those views are heard by Somerset’s decision makers.
