🧠 @Matthew Hill, Durham County Council Youth Council – representing a younger generation determined to have a say in how their communities are run

 

 

It promises to be a timely and grounded conversation about power, representation, and how we can ensure social value is shaped 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 communities – not just 𝘧𝘰𝘳 them.
