In May 2022, Councillors approved the formation of the Youth Council as part of the Parish Council and appointed Cllr Soper as the Youth Council Liaison Member.

Horsted Keynes Parish Council is fully committed to ensuring that children (those under the age of 18) are protected and kept safe from harm whilst they are engaged in any activity associated with the Parish Council.

Horsted Keynes Youth Council would love as many households in the Parish to take part in "The Big Plastic Count". We would like you to record the amount of plastic used in your home from 11-17th March. Once recorded you will be sent a footprint rating, you will then have to email your rating to the Youth Council. The household with the lowest rating will receive an eco-hamper. This initiative is to raise awareness, on how much plastic we use and hopefully Reduce, Recycle and Reuse plastic. Sign up to this campaign using the link below.

On 15th May 15 young people join walked 7km from Lindfield to Horsted Keynes. Well done to our Youth Council (aged 9-12) for organising a fantastic night hike.
