Young People, Sport and Diversion

An important part of Vibrant Communities’ work involves encouraging young people to take part in positive activities and diverting them from antisocial behaviour. Having Youth Work and Sport Development within the same team ensures that young people's voices are heard. Our YPSD team has continued to listen to and engage with young people though interactive, educational conferences, and in 2018 the East Ayrshire Children and Young People’s Cabinet was formed. The Cabinet members work with East Ayrshire Council and feel empowered to question elected members, officers and community partners on topics that directly affect children and young people.
