I had the honour of writing an article on the @rva_news website for International Youth Day, in recognition and celebration of our future young leaders.

Let's continue inspiring change in our pursuit of a better tomorrow!

1) Following a meeting between our environment group and @bournemouthuni, we've discussed a number of steps to help make our town greener!

[Youth Council RDG @RYC_Reading]

Following a recent meeting with @TVP_Reading, these are the things we discussed:

[Zarah Khan MYP @zarah_khan01]

A new helpline has been set up for school staff, young people and anyone who feels they've been affected by recent events.

Support is available Monday to Friday all day until 8pm @ 01189372080

There's no shame in reaching out for help, let's remember we are stronger together.

We are working to prevent knife crime, which appears even more important after the events of the weekend. Knife free provide information and support around knife crime.

We are deeply saddened to hear what has happened on Saturday night in Forbury Gardens, Reading. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families.
Over the next few days we will be posting various resources to help young people, and show what we are doing to tackle Knife Crime

[All On The Board @allontheboard]

Thoughts and prayers to the people who have lost their lives, those who have been injured and their families and friends, after the terror attack at Forbury Gardens in Reading.

[Zarah Khan MYP @zarah_khan01]

My heart goes out to those affected in the tragic stabbing. Enough is enough - we should not stand for this kind of cruel activity.
I will continue to advocate for my young peers by working with @RYC_Reading and the police in order to tackle Knife Crime. Stay safe everyone #rdguk
