Who we are
The Committee Members
The BMEYPP is set up to be run by young people and the committee members are made up of young people themselves. There are positions on the committee; 2 chairpersons, a secretary and a treasurer, and 12 other members. The committee are responsible for managing the BMEYPP. They manage the budget, employ the staff, and make sure that reports are written for the funders. They hold a Annual General Meeting for the members to hear how the project is doing and to elect the members onto the Committee, and they publish an annual report of our activities. They are supported by the youth workers, and are responsible to the members. Each year the Committee members go away on a residential where they discuss how they would like to project to develop, take part in team training and fun activities.
