LYA E-Bulletin August 2005 LYA News I hope you are enjoying your summer. The main news to report this month is the publication of the long awaited Green Paper on Youth entitled Youth Matters. To get hold of your copy, follow the link to our Parliamentary News section (see below) where you will also find lots of other interesting news from Government. The Association will produce a response to this consultation paper and inform members of any local opportunities to become involved in the process, which ends in November. Meanwhile we are busy planning this year's Annual General Meeting, which will take place at 7pm on 28th September at County Hall. This event will be followed by a Seminar with guest speakers and presentations from young people, on the topic “How do we ensure Youth Matters in Lancashire?”, which is being jointly sponsored by the Association and Lancashire Council for Voluntary Youth Services. All members, colleagues and friends are welcome to come along and invitations will be sent out in the next few weeks together with our Annual Report 2005. Please forward this email to anyone who you think would like to know more about our work and activities for young people across Lancashire.
