A VIBRANT group of young people is recruiting members to express their thoughts on Liverpool’s Capital of Culture celebrations for 2008.

The Liverpool Culture Company’s Youth Advisory Group (YAG) was formed almost a year ago and is now giving new young people a chance to get involved. Members currently advise on major cultural plans, have hosted fringe events at party political conferences, helping at a 2012 Roadshow with an Olympic theme, plus much more.

Liverpool City Council’s Leader, Cllr Warren Bradley, said: “The success of the YAG in the relatively short time it’s been running is testament to the hard work of both the young people and the Culture Company. It’s so important to recognise the opinions and views of young people as they will reap the rewards of the legacy of what we are doing culturally.

Supported by sponsors and donors worldwide, our children’s charity provides a new family (in amazing Children’s Villages) for over 60,000 children in 124 countries and helps over one million other children through our projects around the world … Our main role is helping children whose parents are not there for them: Aids orphans, street children, child soldiers and children orphaned by war or disasters, such as tsunami or earthquakes. In places where there is a high rate of child abandonment, we also run programs to help strengthen vulnerable familes and keep them together. ‘ (Extract from www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk).
