Roffey Children Can Do
Thursday 1 July 2010
On Wednesday 16th June children participating in Roffey Children Can Do gave a presentation to Horsham Full Council about the programme of activities that they have been involved in over the past year.
The programme is a partnership between West Sussex Council for Voluntary Youth Services, Novas Scarman and Horsham Town Council.
Children and Young People aged 5 – 13 years have been involved in making decisions about how funds should be spent in Roffey which is the part of Horsham where they live. Roffey Children Can Do aims to support communities to get their voices heard and have a say in decisions that affect their lives.
It encourages children to be more active in their communities and shape the services they want in their communities. It has engaged people who would not normally have been involved in an open and transparent manner.
