I was delighted to attend the recent launch of the NLC Youth Strategy, ‘Going the Extra Mile’ at the @Home Centre in Airdrie. The centre has been the hub of a broad range of youth services and resources in Airdrie for a number of years and there really couldn’t have been a more suitable venue for the launch of NLC’s Youth Strategy.

Young people were at the heart of the development of the strategy and it makes clear the Council’s commitment to meaningful and lasting engagement with the young people of North Lanarkshire.
