Between November 2024 and May 2025, the Community Partnership Team, with the support of the Youth Engagement and Consultation subgroup, targeted young people attending local Secondary Schools from these priority communities. 

It was agreed that young people would be consulted within three secondary schools, Greenfaulds High, Our Lady’s High and Cumbernauld Academy.  

Nine face-to-face workshops were carried out involving 84 pupils aged 11 to 17.

The aim was to understand what life is like for young people in these communities, what matters to them, and how they can be better supported.

Feedback and findings from the consultation was analysed and a report submitted to the Cumbernauld Board in August 2025. The LOIP priority subgroup will agree key actions to address issues identified in the feedback from young people.
