This week I attended the Family Information Service (FIS) Christmas Party at Barry Leisure Centre. At the event there were many stalls showing services in the Vale of Glamorgan for children, young people and families. I helped out at the Youth Service stall which offered fun activities for children, as well as raising awareness about the projects that it runs including the Youth Cabinet! Although there were many more children than young people at the event, being able to talk to them and representatives from other organisations was beneficial. I've been able to make plans to visit organisations in the future such as Rhoose Homework Club!
At the event I also had the opportunity to speak to the Council's Rural Regeneration Team and learn more about the Council's plans to improve broadband connectivity in the Vale. This relates to my manifesto, and in the New Year I'm hoping to find out some more information from young people about what they want with regards to digital technology and digital connectivity.
