Campaigns

Youth Cabinet campaigns are chosen by the electorate of around 40,000 young people in East Sussex, of whom over 50% actively voted.

Anti-smoking

For their anti-smoking campaign, the group produced a health advice video to be shown to Year 9 students in the schools of East Sussex.

Places to go & Things to do

The group surveyed a variety of after-school youth centres throughout Eastbourne and Hastings to discern the state of youth provisions. They ultimately produced a presentation to display the respective authorities of the issues faced by the youth groups.

Drugs Awareness

The group's final campaign will focus on alcohol-related problems of youth.
