KYC Manifesto

Silhouettes of young people

What is a youth manifesto?

A manifesto is an official document which sets out the intentions of an organisation. In discussion with various groups of young people in a variety of settings, KYC has produced a list of important issues that matter to the young people who live and/or go to school and socialise in the borough. This manifesto is a guide that sets out this year’s action plan and campaigns.

Our theme for the year is: Healthy Lifestyles

Living a healthy lifestyle is not only about avoiding fatty foods, cutting down on caffeine and taking up an expensive gym membership. Health is not solely about the size of your body; it's about being happy within yourself, avoiding detrimental situations and substances and taking care of yourself as a whole.

KYC believe that it is important that young people are leading health lifestyles, and that it is about not only having a healthy body, but also a healthy mind as well.

Based on our theme for this year, we have identified a number of issues that concern the young people of Kingston:

The action plan will feed into RBK’s Participation Strategy, and will help shape and develop services for young people. We hope that throughout the year we will continue voicing the issues and concerns that young people have in Kingston.
