The event is jointly organised and funded by Fixers – an organisation which helps young people tackle issues in their day-to-day lives – Wrexham’s Youth Parliament Senedd yr Ifanc and Wrexham Council.

Toby Jones, Chair of Senedd yr Ifanc, said: “We want young people to come together, create a strong community and give young people of Wrexham the chance to express their true colours.”

Sian Rendell, Project Co-ordinator at Fixers, said: “This event has been created as a platform for young people to come together as a collective, share their experiences and explore ideas of how the voices of young people can be used to create positive change for others.

“Working with such a dedicated and enthusiastic group of young people from Sennedd yr Ifanc has been fantastic and we look forward to being a part of Wrexpression!”

Cllr Paul Rogers, Lead Member for Youth Services and Anti-Poverty, added: “This will be a great event for young people in Wrexham, and I hope it’ll be the first of many.”
