Replacing its former Youth Council and Youth Democracy Group, in July 2022 Newcastle City Council launched “Evry” – a new 8 year plan responding to mass consultation with under 25s in Newcastle, bringing together a broad alliance of partners in a bold and common purpose to make Newcastle a place where all under 25s can live, thrive, and be heard.
