My laptop is boken. Which is why I haven't been in touch for ages. Or it feels like ages anyway.
Leah, in answer to your question, the only way we can have an idea of how well the elections are going is by the number of applications that I've received. The total so far is five! Not great, but I don't know what else to do. Information has been sent to ALL schools in Sussex, 7 home education groups, more than 20 Youth Forum/Youth Centre contacts, over 2000 letters have been sent to WATCH members, it's on the SWT website, and the marketing team are doing a great job of sending out press releases. I'm hoping that over the following three weeks the applications will come flooding in, but in the meantime if any of you can think of anywhere else we could advertise please let me know!
I'm currently trying to work out what's wrong with my computer. There's an internet cafe round the corner from my house, luckily. But if I don't post for another couple of days, you know why :)

Young People Taking Care Of Sussex
Leah Chevrier
Hi, my name is Leah Chevrier and i'm 15 years old. For as long as i can remember i've loved walking in the countryside, and over the years my interests in ecology, botany, biology, animal welfare and psychology, and wildlife overall have grown greatly! When i heard about plans to create a Youth Council for the Wildife Trust, I thought it was a great idea, as it would finally give young people the chance to tell the Wildlife Trust what we really care about, in person! Since being accepted as a member, i've had loads of fun with the other Councillors, and i believe we've come up with many great ideas and plans to bring awareness of and interest in wildlife to other young people in Sussex... I also hope and believe we will continue to do this, and i can say with sincerity that being part of this Youth Council is an immensely educating and rewarding experience!

Hi, I'm 17 years old and I'm in full time education at the moment whilst volunteering as a Youth Councillor. I've always been interested in wildlife and all things nature-related! From pond-dipping to group discussions; we cover a lot at each of our monthly meetings and the Youth Council has allowed me to get to know others from all around Sussex with ideas that help to improve the Youth Council and which also contribute to the Sussex Wildlife Trust.

Hi I’m Laura! I'm 13 years old. I love playing football and going on walks in the woods. I wanted to be on the Youth Council because I love wildlife and I wanted to be able to encourage others to enjoy it too.
