The Mid Copeland GDF Community Partnership has been engaging with people over the past few years to see whether a GDF could be right for the local area.

It is now setting up a youth group, developing its youth work so far, to feed further views and feedback into the ongoing conversation.

This will also allow young people to gain extra skills, including teamworking, and enhance their knowledge.

If you’re interested in getting involved in the youth group, please take a look below and submit an application form. Recruitment starts on February 18 and will be ongoing.

Priority will be given to those who are living in Gosforth electoral ward – which is the GDF Search Area – and includes the Seascale, Gosforth, Beckermet, Calderbridge, Haile, Thornhill, Nethertown, Braystones and Wasdale areas.
