Young Leaders taking action!
Today, St James Church School young leaders held Cllr Tom Deakin to his word - calling on him to deliver his commitment to install CCTV at the underpass in Victoria Park.
Their action, 'The Final Sprint', saw them race side-by-side with Cllr Deakin through the underpass - turning a serious issue into a fun, creative moment. They made their message strong and clear: young people are organised, determined, and ready to hold power to account!

Wonderful Open Day at our Taunton Masjid! Thanks to our Muslim brothers and sisters who went to great lengths to warmly welcome members from our Christian, Quaker, Jewish, and non-faith communities. We look forward to building strong relationships with you across Taunton and beyond. 😊

Young Somerset Citizens leaders have led a powerful campaign to make their local park in Taunton safer.

They organised alongside local groups and held officials to account, securing commitments for better lighting, CCTV and mirrors to improve visibility and frequent needle and glass sweeps.

Imogen, a young leader involved in the campaign said, “When Citizens Somerset came to our school I felt empowered, like we could actually make a change."
