Children and young people are at the heart of what we do in the Doncaster OA.
We have a group of Doncaster youth ambassadors who are working with us to ensure that young people are at the heart of our plan. The youth ambassadors have already:
- Been on the radio to talk about the Opportunity Area
- Met with the Education Secretary about the programme
- Developed ideas for a marketing campaign to promote Doncaster as a great place to live
- Sat on bid assessment panels
- Spoken at events on our behalf
SoS visit to Doncaster 23rd July 2018
