About the Mayor's big ideas challenge for young people

The Mayor of West Yorkshire, Tracy Brabin, launched the big ideas challenge to harness the incredible potential of the region’s 16 to 26-year-olds.

A total of 64 ideas from a range of individuals and teams were submitted in the challenge. This helped young people in West Yorkshire develop problem solving skills and come up with ideas to make our region happier and healthier. Inspired to make a real difference for their peers, the finalists took part in a specially designed programme, which supported them to develop creative solutions to problems that they most care about and pitch these ideas confidently.
