Members of the Erewash Youth Forum have been busy this year working on community projects to benefit their school and surrounding community. In July 2009 the group carried out a prioritisation exercise to establish what areas they wanted to work on in the future. The top 3 priorities are:
- Young people and alcohol
- Teenage pregnancy
- Staying safe
These priorities will be used as topics for future meetings.
