As the country starts to return to (the new) normal, we can’t wait to get going again in the autumn. The first event following our prolonged COVID-19 pause is the delayed Young Local Authority of the Year 2020 (13th and 14th October, Lancaster). That is followed by the 2020 Young Scotland Programme (3rd to 6th November, Troon) which has just opened for booking: Click here. The Young Ireland Programme is also scheduled for November (opening for booking soon) and the delayed Young England and Wales Programme, which should have been held in June, has been moved to January (19th to 22nd, Lancaster – Click here for brochure and booking form).

Please be assured that we constantly monitor and act on the advice of the UK and Scottish Governments regarding COVID-19 precautions and will always put in place appropriate health and safety measures as part of our commitment to the safety of all of our delegates.

Back in January the first Young Ireland Programme of the year ran simultaneously with the Young Scotland and Northern Ireland Programme. Click here for photos. The last week in February saw us off to Lancaster for the first (as it turned out, the only) Young England and Wales Programme of 2020. Click here for photos. Thanks to all the delegates for making these events so memorable and enjoyable. We are so much looking forward to meeting our other 2020 delegates soon.

Stay safe everyone!
