Three young representatives from Halton Youth Cabinet (HYC) took to the airwaves on BBC Radio London, sharing their experiences of youth leadership and discussing their ambitious environmental campaign, Binimals.
Ben, Fin and Mae joined the station to talk about their involvement in Halton Youth Cabinet, the work young people are leading across the borough and their determination to make a positive difference within their communities.
During the interview, the trio spoke about the Binimals campaign, an innovative environmental initiative developed by Halton Youth Cabinet to tackle littering and encourage residents to take greater pride in their local environment.
The campaign aims to make responsible waste disposal more engaging and accessible through creative, animal-themed bins and activities that encourage people of all ages to think differently about litter and recycling.
The interview also provided an opportunity to highlight the wider work of Halton Youth Cabinet, which gives young people across the borough a platform to share their views, develop campaigns and influence decisions affecting their lives.
Speaking confidently and passionately, Ben, Fin and Mae demonstrated the commitment and enthusiasm that young people bring to addressing issues within their communities.
Their appearance comes at an exciting time for Halton Youth Cabinet, with the group continuing to develop its environmental work and all three young representatives also standing as candidates in the upcoming Member of Youth Parliament election.
The election will give young people across Halton the opportunity to choose their next representative, with voting open until 10th December.
