But here at The National Youth Agency (NYA) we have been making changes to our governance arrangements. The NYA is at an exciting time in the redevelopment of its board of trustees following the appointment of a new chair, Janice Shiner.
We had a fantastic response to our call for new board members. Many were young people keen to contribute to our work. Inevitably we won't be able to appoint them all but we're planning to bring all those who applied together for a day of workshops and discussions about young people and governance.
We are also part of a consortium appointed to run the National Body for Youth Leadership - a youth-led programme designed to create and offer opportunities for young people to develop their leadership skills. The challenge is to make it relevant to the widest group of young people, and in particular it must be relevant to those who have the potential but might not naturally come forward for a programme of this kind. We need leaders from all walks of life.
