We are the Huddersfield Locality. The representatives are Karandeep Kaur, Aleeena Razzaq, Chloe Sutcliffe, Jess Senior and Hannah Gausden.
Firstly, we went to Eshton Grange near Skipton on a residential with all the KYCs. We all bonded together and got other views from different KYCs.
Once we got back we started working through an induction pack. When we finished it we attended an International Women’s Day event where we collected the views of our constituents.
We have arranged to attend a local event run by “Fresh Horizons” which we will update you on this when we know more.
All Huddersfield KYCs are part of the Children and Young People Plan consultation group. We have also designed a questionnaire about what is important to young people in Kirklees which is currently being distributed. The results will be given to Matthew Holland – Head of Children’s Trust Management and Development.

Happy New Year!
Since our last update, we have introduced Tabraiz Sajid to the council as part of the Huddersfield locality. However, we are going to have to sadly say goodbye to Hannah who we would like to wish all the best to in the future and would like to thank her for all her commitment and hard work.
