In Jan Alex #Doncaster Youth Councillor & Deputy Member of Youth Parliament met with Public Health & Learn Sheffield about their Vaping Campaign Workshops & how they can make them more engaging and interesting for young people.🙌

“Being on the Youth Council & Youth Parliament over the last 5 years has given me the best memories & amazing skills! Im so happy that I got the opportunity to help young people in Doncaster. Honestly wouldnt trade Youth Council for anything it was amazing!”

To join the Youth Council you don’t have to be massively confident, live and breathe politics… you just have to CARE and WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!🙌
