Youth survey organisers hope for impact

The views of young people will have a positive impact on future youth services.

So say the organisers of this year's Youth Survey, which has drawn over 1,300 responses from 11-18 year olds in the Island.

It asks questions relating to education, health, lifestyle, leisure and wellbeing.

Results and responses are currently being analysed by the charity Youth Trust - it's the first time an independent organisation has organised the survey.

Martin McFarlane of the charity says it's a concerted effort to make a difference.
