Who are the Sevenoaks Youth Council?

​Welcome to Sevenoaks Youth Council!

We are a group of young people aged 11–17, elected by our peers to represent your views, ideas and issues across Sevenoaks, and to make a real difference in our community.

Since 2009, we have been creating and supporting events, projects and campaigns that matter to young people, from youth gatherings and wellbeing activities to shaping local spaces like the House in the Basement Youth Café, a safe place designed with young people at its heart.

On this site you can find out how to join the council, discover upcoming events, share your voice, and get involved locally, and you can also follow us on Instagram @sevenoaks_youthcounciloffical to see what we are up to and what is coming next.
