ABOUT
Making space for young people
Angelina Munabi
'I want to see spaces set up by young people for young people.'
My campaign
Young people are always saying they have nothing to do, but there are lots of spaces out there that they don’t use. My campaign is about raising the profile of spaces and facilities that are available for young people, and getting young people to go out there and use them.
My Campaign highlights
- Finding a community centre to work with
- Meeting mentor, Melodie Hossaini
How can you help?
- Tell me about youth projects in your area

Hey, my name Javan Mitchell from Sheffield/Wincobank. i don't know if I'm commenting this to the right person but here we go lol. Me and my friends have problems yeah finding space to do our hobbies which is to ride motorbikes(Field bikes), we see all these empty fields and broken down pieces of council land which are all hardly used by pedestrians. The argument I'm wanting to know is why don't they let us "teens" ride on the unused piece of land, they come chasing us and trying to take i call it "stealing"(theft) our bikes from us which we have paid for and then make us "buy" them back. all we want is local pieces of land round our area to do our hobbies, because face it if we didnt like to do our own thing in the week and weekends, i think we would end up drinking on the streets causing others harm and abuse under the influences of alcohol, things have started changing this way already because we are scared of taking our bikes to the field just in case we end up getting caught and the police taking our bikes away from us.. Hear me out this is BIIG!!....

Hi Angelina, I am running the anti bindge drinking campaign and i was wandering if you wanted to collaberate with me running a clubnight at the youth centre? It would be a great way for me to get the word out there, Ive been finding it almost impossible to find anywhere that will offer a space in the evening for free, as we dont use the bar... let me know! good luck!

I think this is an awesome idea. this is exactly what we've been talking about in my youth group and not only this but changing peoples views of young people. i think its awesome that other people are highlighting that there's a problem that there isnt enough for youth and its great that someone else is standing up and taking action. Good luck With it and keep up the awesome work. leahx

Good luck with the campaign. One main problem is that young people often want to get drunk (which personally I dont think is always too bad... I dont think I caused problems when I was younger) and community centers wont allow that. There used to be one by me that had Playstation, 5 a side football and DJ kits which encouraged quite a lot of people to go, except people often left after a bit to go and get drunk. Anyways, good luck!
