Looking at the lack of opportunity in Stretford and growing disengagement of generation Y in their communities on a Macro scale in the UK. More focus should be made on equipping, empowering, and envisioning Young People's concerns.
A lack of young people's engagement in social issues does not mean young people have no issues rather the means may be limited or the expression of such issues may be off the main strand.
PROJECT: THE UNION
Let's break it down...

Young Identity supports teenagers and young adults by using poetry, prose and performance to expose young people’s issues locally, nationally and internationally. It assists members in writing about subjects that may have a direct impact on their future, giving them a platform from which their voices can be heard.
By engaging its members with the arts, Young Identity promotes inclusion and community. It is aimed at those primarily from disadvantaged areas, encouraging literacy and analysis amongst young people. The project is a powerful voice in improving social awareness and communication skills.
The UK Youth Parliament provides opportunities for 11-18 year olds to use their elected voice to bring about social change through meaningful representation and campaigning.
