THE 2008 CONSULTATION
The consultation consisted of a “Visioning Event” to enable young people in Rhyl to create a document identifying their wish list of things that need improving in the town. RYAG hoped to create a “top 10 best things in Rhyl” as well as a “top 10 things that are needed / missing in Rhyl”. This was intended to be tied in to an ongoing publicity campaign – GR8 – in the local paper, and to the WAG funded Youth Bank scheme.
Comic Relief and the Tudor Trust funded the project to train and support a group of about 12 young people from the town, so that they could consult their peers. RYAG were looking to work with young people that were already involved with RYAG, but also with some young people that do not currently link in to RYAG. Some, but not all, of the young people had worked with Wavehill before.
The young people were aiming to complete approximately 700 individual interviews and focus groups with other young people from Rhyl. Information was to be gathered using a number of methods such as interviews, self completion questionnaires, group discussions etc, and the information collected would then be used to produce this document to be distributed to stakeholders and other funders.
Every young person interviewed was offered a free young persons information book from Canllaw Online, over 400 were given out.
