"Young people are often the best at 'making change happen'," writes NYA patron Kierra Box. "We are good at it because we think of ideal solutions and fit them to reality - rather than thinking first of budgets and paperwork.

Representatives from these groups will be launching the book to a range of local authorities and organisations at the LGA offices in London, as part of the LGA's Local Democracy Week. NYA staff will be taking a backseat while the young people give presentations about Act by Right, describing how it was created, and also running workshops, taking people through the various chapters in just 75 minutes.
