Elmbridge Youth Service - Have your say

Surrey will be making changes to the Community Youth Work Service (CYWS) shortly.  CYWS helps young people to be more employable by building their resilience, developing their skills and improving their wellbeing through youth work. Youth work is voluntary and helps young people to develop their skills, knowledge and confidence so that they can reach their goals. It is available to all young people, especially the ones who need support the most.  Surrey will work in partnership with other organisations to provide more activities for young people. There is less money available for services for young people overall which means that Surrey needs to find a way of delivering youth work that makes the most of the money that it has.  It wants to use the money it has for youth work to make the biggest difference to young people, particularly helping them to prepare for work and their adult life. Surrey wants to find out what you think about their plans and your ideas of how it can do things better. The consultation for Elmbridge has been published on the Surrey Says website.  You can quickly and easily provide a response online by following the instructions on the website. Surrey is also holding a series of public consultation events in each area to better understand the views of Elmbridge people.  The consultation will be running until 21 August 2015. Information about these events is again available through the website.
