Case study: Merkinch & South Kessock (Inverness): Your Place, Your Point
/This project, called Your Place, Your Point, has been funded by Highland's share of the Scottish Government's Whole Family Wellbeing Fund. The Scottish Government have also contributed funding towards the meaningful participation of young people, supported by Youth Highland, throughout the process. This project aims to improve local democracy, ensuring that communities are more engaged with decision-making to improve safety and wellbeing.
Funded by Police Scotland, Youth Highland have been working with young people in the area over the last year to understand more about their feelings about where they live. A wide consultation was carried out which saw nearly 500 children and young people participate; sharing their views about a range of topics.
Through this, young people told us what they need in their community to grow up loved, safe and respected.
