Young people will be given a say on how they think money should be spent in their area, as part of the Government’s national youth strategy.

Focus groups known as “democracy cafes” will be one of the ways people aged between 10 and 21 – and up to 25 for those with special educational needs and disabilities – will be able to contribute ideas.
