Meet Neo
Hello – I’m NEO the Five Rivers Children’s Participation Champion. Whenever you see me, you know I want to hear about what you are thinking and feeling. Here’s your chance to get involved with lots of stuff at Five Rivers!
Upcoming Events
We plan a calendar of special events around the ideas that come out of our Youth Council meeting every year that you can join in with. Often these workshops are creative where you can write, draw, sing or make music. Sometimes they are more about talking to each other about things you like or dislike. They are always about the things you have told us you are interested in through the Youth Council – you are in charge!
We still have some work to do on this calendar so please watch this space, it’s coming soon!
Achievements and News
This is where we celebrate your creativity and show off the amazing work you produce through our participation programme. It’s also where we share news or advice we think you will find interesting or helpful.
