Social justice projects

Bristol City Council (BCYC) comprises of driven young people who embody the spirit of activism and engagement. They advocate for the issues that matter most to young people and the main aim of BCYC is to represent the voices of young people in Bristol.

This year, one of our LPW School students is on BCYC and will be representing the North Bristol Ward.

BCYC consists of 29, 11 to 18-year-olds elected by young people throughout Bristol. They are elected in 3 different ways:

• 18 young people are voted in through the Bristol Youth Elections where they stand for election within their school/ youth organisation

• 5 young people are elected through equality youth voice groups

• 6 young people are elected through their local areas
