My name is Jame Alexander and I am lucky enough to be the elected Children and Young People's Champion of York.
Myplace is an amazing opportunity to give the children and young people what they need. This is a purpose built "somewhere to go". I often visit youth events run by various groups as well as visit schools. What rings very clearly is that there are not enough permanent spaces for children and young people to socialise with their friends, have a good time and not feel victimised for being bored. This is why it is great that here is the possibility of getting a purpose built centre and why it is so important that there is engagement with young people to find out what they want.
I am behind this project 100%. I hope to see a fantastic, ambitious world class youth facility in York. This is what children and young people want and this is also what they need and deserve.
James
