HEREFORDSHIRE Youth Council will be raising funds for local causes and holding an activity day for county youngsters, this weekend.
Three members of the youth parliament will be walking from Ross Market Place to Hereford High Town on Saturday (August 30) at 6am.
Rebecca Howson, deputy member of the Youth Parliament, Tom Reddock, member of Herefordshire Youth Council and Ross Higgins, Chair of Herefordshire Youth Council, set off to raise money for the UK Youth Parliament Regional Campaign: See Good Under The Hood.
The campaign aims to get a fair and accurate representation of youths in the media and the trio will be raising money for a film competition for youngsters in the West Midlands.
Following the walk, fifteen youngsters from Herefordshire Youth Council will be abseiling down St Peter’s Church in Hereford High Town in aid of the MacMillan Renton Appeal.
The group have also organised a fun day which will be held at the Castle Green from 2pm until 5pm and activities will include giant twister, a climbing wall and a tug of war.
The Youth Council are supported by the Play Partnership and the Youth Opportunity Fund.
