Website gets young people in the zone

A new smart phone friendly website is enabling young people aged 11-19 in Brent to search for activities, opportunities and relevant services. Brent Youth Zone is packed full of things to do for young people to do locally, and includes volunteering opportunities, sports activities and apprenticeship roles. In addition to this there are also information pages about health, personal safety and employment advice.

Many of the activities and services are inclusive, welcoming young people with SEND. Young people were key in the development of the website and their feedback was vital as the council developed the site. The Brent Youth Zone logo was inspired by a Year 7 pupil from Capital City Academy who entered a borough wide competition to brand the Brent Youth Zone.

Cllr Mili Patel, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People said: "This website does a great job of bringing together all the great opportunities for young people in one place."

"The best part is that young people helped the design and development of the website. It really is a website for young people, by young people and we want to keep it that way. We are always on the lookout for more opportunities and ask that if young people know of any activities or events that should be included on the site, they get in touch with us."
