Join our Youth Manifesto!

What is a Youth Manifesto?

We know that young people are the future. Many of you have some great opinions and ideas when it comes to nature and the climate, but don’t get the chance to vote in elections. So, a Youth Manifesto is a chance for you to get your voices heard!

We’re asking for your help by answering some short questions. We will gather and present the answers in a simple way that gets across your opinions and ideas to the people that need to hear them before the General Election later this year.

How we will use your answers

We will:

  • Find out what young people think are the most important issues for nature and the environment.
  • Share the manifesto with schools, councils and political candidates throughout Wiltshire and Swindon*.

*We will not share any personal information with others unless given permission to do so. Your answers can be anonymous.
