Children, youth and seniors
Young people make up a third of the population of Belfast, making our city one of the youngest in Europe.
As Belfast is home to so many young people, we thought it was time they had a say in how our city is run and show that they’re listened to by adults.
If you’re a young person, we’ve set up the Belfast City Youth Council to help make this happen.
The Youth Council is made up of 25 young people from communities across Belfast.
All of our members are aged between 13 and 18 (or up to 21 if they have a disability, have just left care or have been referred through social services) and are a Youth Council member for two years.
You can follow us on social media.

The United Nations Convention on the rights of the Child (UNCRC) is a list of rights created to protect all children and young people and make sure they have everything they need to live a happy and healthy life.
