The UK’s largest youth
consultation
Developing National Campaigns
Building to 1 Million
20% average for each LA =
1 million
Why is it important to increase
the turnout?
• Gives you a powerful mandate
• Legitimatise UKYP as the voice of
young people
• Evidence, evidence, evidence- of you
consulting local young people
• You can be the first group to give
1 million young people a voice
