I want to thank everyone that has joined this campaign so far. Genuinely amazed at these numbers but not naive to think this is in the bag.
I'm available to speak with anyone that wants to bring this to their local council, be that care leavers, youth and participation groups, youth councils, portfolio holders, lead members, opposition parties and independent Cllrs.
