The official youth forum for all young people living in Portsmouth. It’s our job to get answers from ‘the powers that be’ to any issue a young person has in the city. We are also the formal consultative group for the local authority and police.
Who we are
We're made up of representatives from schools, youth groups, youth organisations, sports clubs, choirs and drama groups.
Where we're based
Portsmouth
When we started
October 2008
How we started
There was a clear lack in provision for the representation of young people so a city-wide conference was set up where all schools were invited. From that, young people voted for the creation of a Portsmouth Youth Parliament, so a working group was set up and then PYP launched in October 2008.
Our work
We're an ongoing youth forum.
Future plans
We're currently looking at initiatives such as the 'all-in-one card'.
