Today is the last day to register for the first ever Youth Congress for Croydon.

This event will create a strategic forum for Croydon Council to engage and listen to the views of children and young people in Croydon.

Council hopes this will be the start of an ongoing conversation with young people.

The day has been planned by and for young people, so it might feel different from previous congress events.

The programme will be starting at 9am on Thursday, July 13 and will finish at 3.30pm, with an after event barbecue and entertainment finishing at 5:00pm.

As places are limited and need to be allocated in advance, please RSVP by emailing Yvonne Aryeetey: croydonstrategicpartnership@croydon.gov.uk or by telephoning her on: 020 8604 7042.
