We will be carrying out essential maintenance on our website on Tuesday 23 April 2024 between the hours of 8.00am and 10.30am. During this time, the website may experience technical issues. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Are you aged between 11 and 17 years old and would like to get involved in our first Youth Council in the county?

Make Your Mark


Make Your Mark is the UK's biggest youth consultation.

Young people aged between 11 and 19 years old can vote on issues that are important to them and the top three issues nationally are debated in the House of Commons by the UK Youth Parliament

1,159 votes were cast by young people in County Durham in 2022 and the main priorities were:

  • health and wellbeing
  • environment
  • jobs, money, homes and opportunities

Our Youth Council will be discussing some of these priorities as will a wide range of young people at our events.
