The Young People’s Parliament attended the annual event at the Guildhall, Hull, which offered a platform for their voices to be heard on issues that matter to them.
More than 100 people from primary, secondary and SEND schools attended the event, as well as alternative provision and youth projects such as Peel Street Project, St Stephens Neighbourhood Centre and the Girlz Only youth project at Preston Road Women’s Centre.
Matt Jukes, Chief Executive of Hull City Council, said: “I am so proud to support our dynamic network of young leaders who are influencing change across the city.
“The work of our youth representatives directly supports the ambitions and commitments in the Council Plan, including our pledge to make the views and voices of Hull residents and communities a priority.”
Hull City Council hosted the annual Hull Young People’s Parliament event on 23 October, bringing together more than 100 young people aged between 11 and 18 from across the city.

Youth representatives took part in debates, workshops, mock sessions and policy discussions, aimed at shaping the future of youth advocacy in Hull.
The workshops were based around elements of the council’s Children and Young People Plan 2025-2030, concerning areas of safety in parks and transport.
The event took place on 23 October 2025, but this week the Young People’s Parliament received backing from local councillors.
Councillor Linda Tock, the portfolio holder for Children’s Services, said: “Hull Young People’s Parliament is a fantastic example of how passionate, informed and articulate our young people are about the issues that affect their lives.
“Their ideas and energy help shape the city’s future, and it’s vital that we continue to give them real opportunities to influence decisions and make their voices heard.”
Hull’s Young People’s Parliament is organised in partnership with Hull City Council and local youth organisations.
