“Comhairle na nÓg has allowed me to make real changes to better my community and get involved in issues that matter to me”
“I have been a member of Comhairle for a year now and in this time I have been given so many opportunities and experiences. I have chaired a panel of esteemed young people for the voiced webinar as a representative on the Child Friendly Cities Forum. I have spent an afternoon shadowing the Lord mayor at his workplace and most importantly, I have made friendships that will last a lifetime”

Overall, Comhairle as greatly benefitted me and I look forward to continuing to work alongside my Comhairle peers”
