The Young Citizen Action Agenda North West included over 12,000 young citizens from across the NW region, whose views were represented in a report presented to the UK government.
Young people (14-19 years old) from across the North West met the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne MP at Rudheath Youth Centre, Cheshire, on 24th September 2010 to present him with their Action Agenda for the North West.
At a time of economic uncertainty, the Action Agenda calls for more positive images of teenagers and challenges the Government to support young people in achieving their ambitions to build a better future.
